After years of various Work in Progress releases the standard release of Kilkerran 12yo was launched in 2016. This whisky is lightly peated (12-15ppm), with approximately 70% matured in ex-bourbon casks and 30% ex-sherry casks - but certain batches can vary from these proportions. Non-chillfiltered, naturally coloured and bottled at 46%. (Bottle size 70cl)

Nose: Notes of sweet confectionery introduce this dram, with Turkish delight, pear drops and marzipan apparent on the nose. There are hints of subtle peat smoke, like toasted marshmallows by a campfire.

Palate: Initially zesty with citrus notes of lemon cheesecake and an oiliness typical of a Campbeltown whisky. Peat smoke, leather bound books and peppery, spicy notes develop over time, along with sweet sticky toffee pudding.

Finish: The peat smoke carries through to the finish in campfire embers, with sweet hints of pecan pie and butterscotch.
