The nose starts with a mix of gooseberries, baby formula and very light farmyard funk then some light smoke, earthy minerality and prunes followed by sour apples, lemon pith and orange zest that transitions to ocean brine, soft vanilla and light peppery oak spice with light ethanol burn. The taste is a thin mouthfeel starting with a mild bitter spice that slowly fades to a mix of gooseberries, baby formula and very light farmyard funk then charred hay bales and sea side rock minerality followed by sour apples, lemon pith and grapefruit that transitions to ocean brine, soft vanilla and light peppery oak spice with light ethanol burn. The finish is short with lemongrass, sour apple, ocean brine, charred hay bales and ashy oak. This is my first Kilkerran and I was hoping for something similar to a Springbank profile, but this comes across to me as more of a watery Springbank. The flavors are very light with an odd milk flavor along with sour fruits, mild farmyard notes and ocean brine. Overall, it's not a bad dram, but this comes across as just slightly better than average for me. A huge thanks to @Richard-ModernDrinking for the generous sample.
