This whisky is becoming a modern cult Campbeltown classic. Springbank 12 cask strength became almost impossible to find so people fell in love with the Kilkerran 8year old...now its also difficult to find. In 2022 Kilkerran spiced things up by releasing 3 different expressions - A Bourbon cask, Sherry Cask and Port Cask - the bourbon cask arrived in Australia after the other other two in late 2023 and sold out in a day or two and is described as the 2023 release.
In my YouTube Review this scored 5 out of 5 for Quality
The pinnacle of the Glendronach core range, the 21 Year Parliament, is a truly amazing dram. My review here: https://engineered.network/whisky/episode-22-glendronach-21-year/
Thank you Horny Pony for helping me try before I buy! (I since bought a bottle of this)
Some lovely ocean spray and subtle smoke on the nose. More of the ocean than the fire on the nose at least. Sweet upfront and then a little prickly, but beautifully done. Apricot jam which reveals freshly cracked black pepper, that smoothens into cured meats and honey. This dram gives a charcuterie board alongside a cigar. A taster is well worthwhile as this has certainly moved me towards buying a bottle.
I've actually been wanting to taste this so I can make up my mind to buy a bottle. When I found your site and saw it had this I immediately bought some tasting samples and absolutely loved it! Will definitely invest in a bottle
