Glengyle Distillery Kilkerran 8 Year Sherry cask cask strength Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750 mL

Nose: Arrives on toffee and fudge with a slight lactic element also, quickly followed by raspberries and figs. There’s mocha, almonds and earthy peat smoke, as wel as a tinge of leather, some dried tobacco leaves, milk chocolate and a pinch of cinnamon. Sweet and fresh and gorgeous. Most importantly, no sulphur.
Taste: Rich, creamy and with plenty of farmy notes, as well as some oak spices, tobacco and very earthy, yet subtle peat smoke. Touches of pralines, spiced biscuits, cherry syrup and burnt toast also. Finally just a sliver of rubber.
Finish: Charred oak, tobacco and sweet cherries. Medium in length.
