Tasting Notes
Nose |
Distillery: The peat 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. |
Taste |
Distillery: There’s an earthiness and saltiness, 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. |
Finish |
Distillery: The peat remains, along with a sootiness, pencil shavings and a liquorice influenced maltiness. |
