Always a firm favourite among Campbeltown whisky fans, Kilkerran 12 Year Old returns once again. Distilled at Glengyle Distillery, this lightly peated single malt has been double distilled and matured in a careful balance of bourbon and sherry casks for 12 years, showcasing the distillery’s classic oily, coastal style with layers of citrus, vanilla and gentle spice. Bottled late 2025, this latest release continues Kilkerran’s reputation for crafting whiskies of genuine character and exceptional value.
Tasting Notes
Awards
Nose
Oak notes are dominant, followed by toasted marshmallows and dried fruit pudding, as well as cherries, marzipan and a hint of peat.
Palate
Initially fruity with citrus notes and orange peel, after this: vanilla, butterscotch, honeycomb and digestive biscuits can all be tasted and enjoyed.
Finish
Velvet and smooth with lemon meringue, to conclude, there’s an oiliness and a saltiness that you’d expect from a Campbeltown dram.
