This is another Kilkerran sample sent to me by my friend @Telex. This is from the Work In Progress series and was matured in ex-bourbon wood. It’s bottled at a cask strength of 54.1%. It’s light gold in the glass and produces tons of legs when you spin it. It’s NCF’d and has no added color. I only jotted some notes down while drinking this one because I drank it alongside the 8 year casks strength. This will be a quick review. The nose was vanilla, oak and cherry cola and there was just a hint of peat mingling in the background. The palate was similar, but with a harder oak wood presence, which was expected. Some vanilla notes appear around mid sip after the heat faded. The finish was long, spicy and very warming. It was a bit abrasive as well. I’m not sure what Jason paid for this bottle, but I don’t think I’d buy one. I was relatively pleased with the sherry cask WIP line and I think their malts work better when they are finished in a sweeter type of cask. 3 stars. Cheers.
