Kilkerran 12 Year Old - Old Bottling

Following its reopening in 2004 after being closed for almost 80 years, Glengyle distillery released several "work in progress" bottles, with the 12-year-old becoming the first staple expression from the distillery. This whisky has been aged in a blend of 70% bourbon casks and 30% sherry casks before being bottled at 46% ABV, without undergoing chill filtration.

Nose: Oak notes are dominant, followed by toasted marshmallows and dried fruit pudding, as well as cherries, marzipan and a hint of peat.
Palate: Initially fruity with citrus notes and orange peel, followed by vanilla, butterscotch and honeycomb can all be tasted and enjoyed.
Finish: Velvet and smooth with lemon meringue, to conclude, there’s an oiliness and a saltiness that you’d expect from a Campbeltown dram.
