Kilkerran 8 Year Old Bourbon Cask Batch 11 is a cask strength single malt whisky bottled at 55.6% ABV. This release continues the tradition of Kilkerran's popular 8 Year Old range, featuring the distinctive Campbeltown character and youthful strength.

This whiskey is non-chill filtered and contains no artificial colourings, preserving its natural flavour and appearance, offering a powerful and harmonious taste with subtle smoky and malty notes.

Tasting notes:

Nose: Expect earthy peat and farm aromas, grain, and fruity notes of lemon, pear, and apple. You may also detect vanilla custard, caramel fudge, and a chalky minerality.

Palate: Oily on the palate, with earthy peaty, minerality and salinity likely to be prominent, accented by vanilla custard, fresh citrus and a touch of black pepper.

Finish: Expect a medium to long finish with lingering notes of black pepper, nutmeg, lemon and chalk.

Kilkerran whiskies are known for a characteristic known as "Campbeltown funk" - mineral, oily and slightly industrial. Bourbon cask maturation tends to enhance the distillery's unique character and express the intrinsic qualities of its spirit.

Although the price has increased slightly from previous releases, it still offers good value for a cask-strength, age-stated single malt from such a highly acclaimed distillery.
