The 2024 100% Oloroso sherry cask matured edition of Kilkerran single malt. It's delicious, smoky and ever so fruity!

Nose : Notes of soft peat smoke, leather-bound books and sticky toffee pudding are present on the nose.
Palate: The familiar rich and dirty character of our Kilkerran 8 year old sherry series is clear to taste. We also get thick date syrup, blackcurrants, cherries, redcurrants and a maritime coastal taste.
Finish : As the whisky develops, there are notes of ashy medicinal smoke, ginger and chocolate oranges.

The Local Barley is an annual release made from barley grown in or around Campbeltown. Different farms, barley varieties, cask maturations and length of time the whisky spends in the casks from one batch to the next allow a unique tasting experience every time.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: On the nose, this whisky is packed full of fruitiness, ripened bananas, boiled sweets and cinnamon.
Palate: Initially, the thick, chewy and oily texture of this whisky is evident. From there, we get a peppery and malty note, then strawberries, brandy schnapps and parma violets.
Finish: Into the finish there’s subtle peat smoke hiding in the background, wine gum sweetness, toasted oats, dunnage earthiness and a slight drying taste.

Color: straw yellow.
Nose: bonfire smoke, salted herring, seaweed, smoked ham. The aromatic palette is enriched by a hint of resin, a sprinkling of cloves and an unusual scent of incense.
Palate: hints of sea peat and campfire smoke, with charred bacon and lots of black pepper
Finish: smoke and dried fruit
