The Kilkerran 8yo Cask Strength Sherry is a single malt whisky from the Glengyle distillery, located in the remote Campbeltown region of Scotland. This distinguished whisky is a part of the distillery's esteemed cask strength Kilkerran releases and has been fully matured in sherry casks for a minimum of eight years. Bottled at a formidable cask strength of 57.5% ABV, this whisky remains natural and unaltered, with no added color or chill filtration.
The Kilkerran 8yo Cask Strength Sherry is a true sherry bomb, boasting an intense nose of delicate smoke, reminiscent of toasted marshmallows and grilled bacon, followed by rich notes of dark chocolate. The palate is powerful and slightly briny, with a clear marine influence. As it opens up, flavors of dried fruit, toffee, and caramelized apples emerge, evolving into a smooth, smoky finish.
The Glengyle distillery, owned by J & A Mitchell & Company, is renowned for its peated and unpeated expressions under the Springbank, Hazelburn, and Longrow brands. The name Kilkerran is derived from the Gaelic "Caen Loch Cille Chiarain," the original settlement where Saint Kieran had his religious cell. This whisky is a testament to the distillery's commitment to quality and craftsmanship, and is sure to provide a memorable sensory experience for whisky enthusiasts.
