Nose: Heavy, earthy peat smoke intertwines with rich Oloroso influences of dark chocolate, Medjool dates, and a distinct "Campbeltown funk" that hints at sea brine and damp dunnage warehouses
Palate: A thick, oily mouthfeel carries powerful flavors of honey-glazed bacon and espresso, transitioning into a savory mid-palate of salted nuts, roasted mushrooms, and sweet dried fruits
Finish: The experience concludes with a long, warming finish dominated by soot and chimney smoke, accented by lingering notes of black pepper, old leather, and a touch of maritime salinity

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.
