I tried a Kilkerran at a Cambletown tasting a while back before I started note taking. I think it was a progress statement. Springbank Green, 18, Hazelburn 12 and others turned up and although I didn't keep notes I did keep ratings and there were a lot of 4's. The Kilkerran wasn't one of them... people raved but I didn't. Fast forward a few years and has my opinion changed? Sweet citrus peat, vanilla maritime flavours a bit like Glenglassaugh Tofa but more character. I like it. It isn't the usual peated whisky I go for but it stays out of the lemony/acidic peat territory nicely. Best on the night just pipping the Adelphi Private Stock (but that is nearly half the price). I'm converted! I reckon 3.75 - 4. It's a bottle I'd like to work my way through at leisure.
