Kilkerran 11, Open Day 2017, 1st Fill Bourbon Barrel, Triple Distilled, 60.3%
By now it’s almost six years ago I got these samples from Ben Cops’ ‘Campbeltown Mega Share’, back when that particular bottle-share group was still active. He also used to run a whisky blog but that seems to be on … Continue reading

Kilkerran 8, 2007-2015, Barolo Wine Cask, 61% – OB for Belgium
Another one of these random samples from the sample cupboard. I have no idea where it came from, but it’s an interesting one so I’m not going to feel bad about that for too long! It’s been a while since … Continue reading

Kilkerran Sherry and Port Cask, 2022 releases
The Kilkerran Sherry Cask was part of the Blind Tasting Competition, as it turns out. I had tried it before some six months ago, but didn’t recognize it. Obviously. I also had a sample of the Port Cask with tasting … Continue reading

Kilkerran 8, Cask Strength Batch 4, Re-charred Oloroso casks, 57.1%
Anything that comes from one of the Springbank brands is going to be popular. When it turns out to be a sherry cask matured something, at cask strength, it’s never going to be on a shelf in a shop until … Continue reading

Kilkerran 11, 2006-2017, Rum Barrel, 57.7% – Cadenhead’s Warehouse Tasting
Another find in the sample stash. I started writing these tasting notes a bit apprehensive. Over the years there have been quite some Kilkerrans that I didn’t enjoy much. In my opinion it ranks just above Hazelburn as a brand. … Continue reading

Kilkerran 8yo, Sherry Cask, 56.4% – Springbank Open Day 2016
For a change, this is not an old, forgotten sample from my cupboard. Which means as much as I knew I had it, but it still is old and from my cupboard, just not forgotten. A whisky friend went to … Continue reading

Kilkerran 15 year old, 2004-2019, Fino Cask, 51.6% – OB for Bresser en Timmer
I have absolutely no idea how this one slipped by me. Maybe because I just wasn’t paying attention, but normally if there’s anything from Campbeltown in a Fino Cask coming out, I need to have it. Because it is delicious, … Continue reading

Kilkerran 11, 2007-2018, Sherry Butt, 58.1% – Cadenhead
I just opened up the stats on this Kilkerran on Whiskybase and it’s currently going for € 162. It was released in July, and back then it was not even € 80. It has already doubled in price. Maybe at … Continue reading

Blind Tasting Competition Day 11: Kilkerran WIP 7, 11yo, 54.1%
The chances of a whisky in the competition being a Campbeltown whisky kept increasing. The rule is that every region is represented at least once. With seven drams to go the chance was only some 14%, but every day it … Continue reading
Blind Tasting Competition 5 – Kilkerran Work in Progress 5, 9yo, Sherry Wood
A whisky I reviewed only a few weeks ago. I wasn’t overly thrilled back then but for some reason I liked it even less this time. Sniff: Heavy and cloying with hints of cheese and quite a bit of oak. … Continue reading
