Cask Strength Distillery Bottling

The aroma from the lightly peated barley is apparent from the off and some of the green apples which are becoming a feature of Kilkerran are also present. This Whisky is like a favourite dessert, rhubarb crumble, stewed rhubarb, vanilla and all butter shortbread.

There’s an earthiness and saltiness on the palate, exactly what you want to taste in a Campbeltown dram. This is combined with icing sugar and puff candy which gives a sweetness to the Whisky, along with milk chocolate and walnut flavours.

The peat lingers on the finish, along with a sootiness, pencil shavings and a liquorice influenced maltiness.

Tasting Notes

Colour

Deep copper-amber with mahogany undertones and a warm, sunlit glow.

Nose

Lightly peated barley opens the nose with bright green apples and rhubarb. Vanilla and buttered shortbread lend a dessert-like richness, while an earthy, coastal saltiness sits in the background. A whisper of icing sugar and puff candy adds subtle sweetness that lingers with the peat.

Palate

On the palate, earthy, maritime saltiness meets a bright sweetness—icing sugar, puff candy and vanilla-kissed rhubarb crumble—paired with milk chocolate and walnut. Light peat threads through, delivering a Campbeltown bite, while the finish lingers with peat and soot, plus pencil shavings and a liquorice-malt complexity.

Finish

A peat-laden finish lingers with a gentle sootiness, pencil shavings and a liquorice-influenced maltiness.

Kilkerran
(kil-KERR-an) Kilkerran is produced at Glengyle Distillery in Campbeltown, a historic site founded by William Mitchell in 1872 after he left Springbank to establish his own distillery. Glengyle closed in 1925, remained silent for decades, and was bought by Mitchell’s Glengyle Ltd in 2000 before returning to production in 2004 after a four-year rebuild.
