Murray Taste Notes for Kilkerran 12

[Quaich1]

Here are my taste notes from the event last night for Kilkerran 12, the first core range product from this distillery.

Color: Hay tinted with fine gold

Nose: Smoky stewed fruit with Empire apple notes, mildly peated walnuts and faint old-fashioned borscht soup with very late honeydew melon.

Taste: Smooth and creamy, coconut and spice melange with a vanilla nougat chaser and then peaches and cream.

Finish: Long, spice, rum and raisin ice cream with late oak and earthy accents.

Comments: This long awaited Campeltown offering has some quite unique and unexpected aromas. It gives the aficionado a lot of processing to do during the experience. Here is a dram with a "visiting uncle from out of town" personality, not one you expected to meet. I quite like it.

Score: 85
