Kilkerran 16, Release 22/124, 46%
These 16 year old Kilkerrans never really work for me. I’ve tried several different version, I think I’ve had the 2020, 2021 and 2022 versions now, and none of them scored very high in my book. They’re decent, absolutely not … Continue reading

Kilkerran 8 from Bourbon and Sherry casks, 55.8% and 57.5%
So, these became available earlier this year, but they’re not from the same batch. The Bourbon cask matured one is from Batch 8, the other one from Batch 9. A bit weird, but with the Dutch importer of Springbank, you … Continue reading

It’s always a good thing when friends to go to special occasions and bring back special occasion booze! In this case it was ‘Erik Elixir’ that went to Campbeltown and decided the 17 year old Kilkerran bottled for the Campbeltown … Continue reading

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
