Hi folks, hope your week has started well.
When I said you would hear from me a lot over the next couple of months, I wasn’t lying. Today I write to make sure you have all seen the announcement that was made on the Kilkerran facebook page just over an hour ago. There is a new release from Mitchell’s Glengyle coming soon. —– Coming Soon – Kilkerran 8yo Cask Strength
From next Wednesday (12th April 2017) our Kilkerran 8yo Cask Strength will be available to purchase in the UK.
Nose – The 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, with scents of stewed rhubarb, vanilla and all butter shortbread.
Palate – 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 – The peat remains, along with a sootiness, pencil shavings and a liquorice-influenced maltiness.
The KK 8yo CS will retail at around £47.50 and release dates in countries/markets outside of the UK will vary. And don’t worry, I will be in touch again very soon.
