An 8 year old single malt from the Glengyle distillery in Cacmpbeltown, released under the Kilkerran name and bottled at cask strength. Released at an ABV of 55.7%, this expression presents plenty of peaty notes up front with citrus and vanilla-y malt in the background.

Tasting Notes

NOSE
Roasted barley and earthy smoke, with underlying orange zest sweetness.

PALATE
Peaty right from the get-go, pairing well with notes of black pepper and paprika. A core of vanilla and butterscotch keeps it from getting out of hand.

FINISH
A zesty hint of citrus once again finishes things off.
