 Kilkerran / 8 Year Old / 2016 Open Day £125.00 Country: Scotland Region: Campbeltown Age: Strength: 56.4% 70cl Summary: Country/Region: Scotland/Campletown. Distillery: Glengyle. Unit: 70cl. ABV: 56.4% Age: 8 Year Old. Nose: Classic young sherry cask meets Kilkerran. Fruit and nut bar, baked apples, Gorgo bars (a green, lime flavoured Wham bar from my youth). But mostly… coffee and cask. Fruitier and more on message with water. Body: Pure chocolate bar… perhaps… no definitely a load of licked joss stick too. Kilkerran again with water, very fruity with light waxes and a touch of clay. Finish: Very long, very dusty, lots of lime and chocolate. Water opens it up significantly at the end, toffee apples and hot asphalt. A clumsy cask for the confident young Kilkerran spirit on this one, not up to the 2015 but I really like the joss sticks.
