Brilliantly sherried and smoky single malt here from Campbeltown's Glengyle Distillery for its Kilkerran range! This cask strength edition weights in at 58.1% ABV, and after maturing in sherry casks for eight years, it has taken on a wealth of dried fruit and festive spice notes, which blend rather well with the peaty whisky.
Tasting Notes
NOSE
Honeyed ham, roasted nuts, and cinnamon-dusted prunes.
PALATE
Chocolatey as it opens, with red chilli flake and ginger, followed by oatcake and peppercorn.
FINISH
Dried fruit remains, with a prickle of nutmeg.
