Stop number 5 on the SDT is Kilkerran from the Glengyle distillery, one of three in the Campbeltown region. This is the 7th and final release in the "Work in Progress" line. Even though there is no official age stated on the bottle, it is 11 years old. This one is matured exclusively in sherry casks. There is also a release matured exclusively in bourbon barrels. The new 12 year old is a blend of both styles (I believe 1/3 bourbon and 2/3 sherry or the other way around). It is bottled at 46% ABV, it has colorant added producing an amber honey color. No word of it is chill filtered or not. Immediately off the nose I can tell it's a sherry bomb. Not overly sweet sherry which is the way I prefer my sherried whiskies. Raisins, dates and figs initially, followed by stone fruits like plums and apricots and a touch of underripe apple. Toffee and caramel and a syrupy sweetness. A light thread of vegetal peat holds it all together. The palate is medium bodied and not too complex. Sherried fruits, light oak and even lighter pepper. More vegetal peat and a nice level of sweetness. Nowhere in the dram is there smoke, but peat for sure. A nice oily mouthfeel which leads me to believe it is not chill filtered. Somewhat mouthwatering at first. Medium length finish that is mostly dry with sherried oak and peat that tapers off slowly. I think this is better than I expected, mainly because I didn't know it was peated. A higher level of peat would have really made this one, but some is better than none. The fact that the sherry wasn't super sweet helped as well. It's a solid dram, but nothing extraordinary. 3.75
