The Kilkerran Heavily Peated Batch 3 has some personality which makes it a very promising release, although this is in and of itself already very enjoyable.
If you'd have told me this was matured in red wine casks, I would've probably believed you. Not entirely balanced, this new Kilkerran 8yo Cask Strength.
Instead of starting its life in a common bourbon cask, it ended it's life in one. For the first 10 years, this Kilkerran was tucked away in a Fino cask, while it spent the final 5 years in a re-fill bourbon casks.
