Kilkerran 16 Year Single Malt ScotchKilkerran is the flagship whisky made by the Glengyle Distillery, Springbank's sister distillery just down the road in Campbeltown. Reopened just a handful of years ago in 2004 after 80 years of being shuttered, it makes for a wee grand total of three operational distilleries in Campbeltown, once the undisputed capital of whisky making in Scotland. The 16 year is aged primarily in ex bourbon barrels, with a small portion of marsala cask matured whisky

Mediterranean-inspired gin flavors using fresh olives and rosemary

but with added depth

rested prior to bottling

and toasted oak

Just chill

smoky snaps of barley that work through the long fade

the agave added fruit forward notes

it reminds one of gingerbread

There's a whisper of roasted almonds

Formulated

and toasty malt

aromatic bitters reign supreme and spicy cocktails are found in bar programs everywhere
