Kilkerran 12 Year

What a high quality, old school malt this is. Not overwhelmingly peaty or smoky but well balanced through and through. Quite fresh and zesty on the nose with a good whiff of sea salt and just enough sweetness. The palette is exceptionally diverse: burnt wood, followed by crispy citrus fruit and spicy oak. Sweet peaches linger before the malt gets dryer, almost chalky. The finish is quite long, very dry with salt and sweet licorice. A very well made, fresh and lively single malt that delivers its qualities without unnecessary colouring or chill-filtration.

[Whiskey Live NY 2018] - 4.5 if I could. Fantastic stuff.
