Nose: The peat aroma from the lightly peated barley is apparent from the off and some of the green apples which are becoming a feature of Kilkerran are also present. This whisky is like a favourite dessert, rhubarb crumble, stewed rhubarb, vanilla and all butter shortbread.
Palate: There's an earthiness and saltiness, exactly what you want to taste in a Campbeltown dram. This is combined with icing sugar and puff candy which gives a sweetness to the whisky, along with milk chocolate and walnut flavours.
Finish: The peat remains, along with a sootiness, pencil shavings and a liquorice influenced maltiness.

Nose: Aromas of hot, sweet mash and biscuity malt merge with heavy peat smoke, honeyed stone fruits like apricot and pear, and creamy hints of butterscotch and vanilla
Palate: Rich Islay-grown barley offers a creamy porridge texture balanced by smouldering peat, delicate oak structure, and floral notes of gorse and honeysuckle
Finish: Earthy smoke and toasted malted barley dominate a long finale, eventually yielding to lingering sweetness from barley sugar, caramel, and vanilla.
