Released in November 2020, this is the oldest Kilkerran available yet. Aged for 16 years in a combination of bourbon casks (96%) and Marsala casks (4%), this is distilled at Glengyle Distillery in Campbeltown, a sister operation of Springbank Distillery.
Subtle dried fruits on top of the sooty, mineral, peppery spirit character. It’s less austere than the 12, a significant step up in terms of balance and complexity. Still lots of Mediterranean herbs (thyme, rosemary) and brine, alongside the earthy peat.
