It's time to review something from Campeltown's newest, old distillery: Kilkerran 12 year. This is their first, traditionally aged statement whisky since reopening the Glengyle Distillery back in 2004. Most of their releases to this point have been labeled "Work In Progress" and were experimental bottlings finished in bourbon, sherry or port wine casks. It's non-chill filtered and comes in at 92 proof. I'm not sure if this bottle is available stateside yet or what the price point may be. This 2oz sample was generously supplied by Pranay. Thanks again. On the nose, there's the usual island whisky suspects: salt, brine and a tiny bit of peat. There's loads of vanilla, oak and a beautiful marshmallow note. The smell is delightful and very inviting. The first sip reveals a nice citrus bite followed closely by biscuity, dry malt. There's a delicious wash of butterscotch and vanilla mid-sip with a very faint smokiness. The finish is long and a bit hot, oily with a lingering lemony citrus note. It's quite tasty. Like I said, I'm not sure if this is available in the US yet, but if it is and you can pick up a bottle for a reasonable amount ($45-60) I say give it a try. I think I'm gonna keep my eye out for some of the Work In Progress bottles and give a few of them a try. Cheers, my friends
