Kilkerran Work In Progress 5 – Sherry Wood

12 October 2013

One of 2 releases for the 5th incarnation of ‘Work in Progress’ by Glengyle Distillery

Tasting:
Color: Amber
Nose: Who’s chocolate orange is this? Dark chocolate, marzipan, honey covered dates and strawberries build up to a very rich and sweet ginger preserve. A very complex nose that doesn’t stop developing in the glass.
Palate: The honey covered dates return on the palate mixed with sultanas and black treacle fudge. This dram is as wholesome and tasty as a warm, toasted cinnamon and raisin bagel with real butter melting on top.
Finish: Medium, well balanced and round finish, presence of dark chocolate but surprisingly no evidence of peat.

Distilled at Mitchell’s Glengyle Distillery in Campbeltown
First distilled on the 25th of March 2004
Kilkerran Single Malt is lightly peated, double distilled, not chill filtered or coloured and bottled at 46%

Kilkerran Work In Progress 5 – Bourbon Wood

12 October 2013

One of 2 releases for the 5th incarnation of ‘Work in Progress’ by Glengyle Distillery

Tasting:
Color: Hay
Nose: This is evidently a Campbeltown dram. The waxy, lightly smoky nose with hints of leather gives away the origin of this dram. Rich and creamy with hints of American cream soda, apricots, dark fruit and linseed.
Palate: Just like previous WIPs the tangy orange and citrus marmalade notes remains. A little bit sweeter than previous WIP releases, with clear presence of apricot jam. There is a great weight of Campbeltown sea air present. Very smooth and fruity.
Finish: Fresh, sweet yet dry finish.
