Tasting notes from Master of Malt
Powerfully flavoursome single malt from Kilkerran, matured for 8 years and then bottled at cask strength! This particular bottling, released in late 2019, was aged in re-charred Oloroso sherry casks, so expect plenty of those yummy dried fruit, chocolate and festive spices notes alongside the peaty smoke.
Nose: Pow! Cinnamon, smoked ham and sultana, with a touch of apricot and coffee bean mixed up in there too.
Palate: Spicier on the palate, with cinnamon joined by black pepper and stem ginger. Dried fruit notes take their time, but eventually dominate the palate alongside a hint of honey.
Finish: Subtle coffee bitterness and lingering peat.
