Description
The Kilkerran 16 Year Old is a notable addition to the Glengyle Distillery’s range, standing as their oldest release to date. Aged for 16 years in 98% ex-bourbon casks and 2% Madeira casks, this whiskey embodies the essence of Campbeltown. It is bottled at 46% ABV and retains its authenticity with nonchill filtration and natural color.
The whiskey’s nose, while initially revealing funky notes that dissipate, gradually unveils layers of damp basement, peat smoke, floral nuances, and a medley of fresh fruits. On the palate, a crispy peat presence gives way to the refreshing essence of cantaloupe, honeydew, key lime, and other delicate flavors. The mouthfeel is lusciously creamy and oily, setting the stage for a lingering finish that brings together honey, peat smoke, tobacco, melon, lemongrass, and black tea.
As the whiskey evolves and changes in character over time, it demonstrates a fascinating complexity and uniqueness, reminiscent of the character found in older distillates. This 16-year-old expression takes the experience to a higher level of engagement and quality, making it a commendable step forward for those seeking a more nuanced and refined taste of Campbeltown’s heritage.
