The second annual release of Kilkerran 16 year old from Glengyle Distillery, created from a combination of 75% ex-bourbon and 25% ex-sherry casks then bottled at 46% vol. Hard to believe the distillery has reached such an age to have this as an annual release, should be another very special dram.

Tasting Notes
Kilkerran 16 Year Old Producer Notes
Nose: Soft and delicate on the nose, an initial malty, cereal element opens up to sweet apricot notes. With hints of lemon meringue pie and orange peel, a soft citrus characteristic develops over time.
Palate: Following the delicate nose, this malt is clearly more powerful on the palate. Sweet and sticky with a waxy mouthfeel and a hint of aniseed. Lemon, pear drops and honey notes are present alongside rich milk chocolate and liquorice.
Finish: Rounded off with a gentle peat smoke influence, and the endurance of the malty, cereal notes.
