Kilkerran 8 Year Old Port Cask 57.9% 2022 Release 70cl

Kilkerran 8 Year Old Port Cask 2022 Release is a highly sought-after single malt Scotch whisky that showcases a full-term maturation in fresh port pipes, striking a dramatic balance between rich fruit sweetness and Campbeltown's distinctive coastal peat. Bottled at natural cask strength without chill-filtration or added colour, this limited expression addresses the fervent demand from collectors and connoisseurs for authentic, wood-driven flavour profiles. Highly revered for its bold intensity, this robust liquid offers a rewarding tasting experience when enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to unlock its intricate layers of flavour. The aromatic profile opens with a unctuous and fruity bouquet of red cherries, strawberry jam, and stewed plums, beautifully intertwined with notes of dark chocolate, tobacco leaf, and a distinct touch of coastal funk. On the palate, this full-bodied single malt delivers a rich, mouth-filling presence where sweet dried fruits, treacle, and caramelized sugar harmonise with underlying mineral peat smoke, savoury leather, and warming chilli spice. The tasting experience concludes with an expansive, lingering finish that leaves a persistent trail of oak spice, cocoa, and syrupy dark fruit sweetness. Produced at Mitchell's Glengyle Distillery in Campbeltown, this expression reflects the historic region's revival through traditional, hands-on production methods. Re-established by the owners of Springbank, the distillery utilizes classic floor maltings and traditional distillation techniques to preserve a heritage that dates back to the nineteenth century. By marrying a characterful, lightly peated spirit with full-term port cask aging, the independent producer delivers a distinctive and memorable single malt that celebrates authentic Scottish craftsmanship.
