Kilkerran Cask Strength 2023 Release Sherry Cask Matured Single Malt Scotch Whisky 8 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber with coppery highlights and mahogany edges.

Nose

Sherry-rich and richly aromatic, the nose unfolds with prune, fig and raisin interlaced with orange zest, cocoa nibs and toffee. A peat-tinged smoke threads through vanilla, toasted almond and warm oak, while hints of spice and cedar add depth, inviting a luxurious, candlelit aroma ready for the palate.

Palate

Full-bodied and cask-strength, Kilkerran unfolds dark fruit—figs, raisins and candied orange—woven with sherry, cocoa and toffee. Subtle peat threads through hazelnut and spice, while vanilla oak and maritime salt keep it balanced. The warmth coats the palate and lingers in a rich, cocoa-tinged finish with resinous oak.

Finish

Long, warming finish of rich sherry influence—dark fruit, fig and cocoa—framed by a whisper of peat and spice. At cask strength the oak-driven warmth persists, leaving a dry, nutty echo that slowly fades into cocoa and roasted coffee notes.
