Wow, it's spicy as hell. Wonderful and did well for me with water and it enhance the spice. Still extra spicy sweet to my pallet--what a dram. My pallet didn't dry and are 8yrs usually this alive. Wonderful as it changed many times in the mouth. $100usd and there is a full rack locally. I think I'll get another.
Great video and tasting notes. Kilkerran is probably my favourite from the Springbank group but, as you say, it's just getting impossible to buy these days! I've been considering doing a series of reviews using Springbank group bottles that I've had on my shelf from years ago but then I just think... nah, they obviously don't need the extra hype and publicity ;-) Cheers!
Managed to get a bottle of this and the Sherry cask when it came out - a local shop knows I am a fan of Kilkerran so they let me reserve a bottle of each. Absolutely love the Port cask - fantastic!
Sold out in Denmark in moments, just like everywhere else. Too bad, since the last Kilkerran Port Wood was downright amazing. Glad you got to try this😋
Never thought balanced would be a description for a Kilkerran but your bang on. Now not meak or mild but somehow has the massive mixture of floral and delicate then still a slap of red fruit, spicy, earthiness. Phenomenal drop, like you was lucky to try a sample. Great review bud!
The few bottles we got here were sold out immediately. I was able to get the 16 yo but I have not opened it yet. I continue to enjoy the 12YO. Thanks Alan …well done. Kindest regards, S.
Thx for the review Alan. I managed to get a bottle but I'm not sure when to open it :-) Btw looks like you got a few distillery exclusives from Benromach behind you 👌😁
Hey Britt... Big mistake my FOMO has kicked in again with this one.... I need to get a bottle.... Thanks for dropping bye fella and you very welcome.... Cheers...
Cheers Alan great review wasn't lucky with getting my own bottle but do have a sample very generously supplied by a great mate so after this i will give it a go after i get over this covid. Cheers fella take care.
i was Lucky to get 2 for myself and 1 for my dad. but they Are gone now. thanks for the good content allan👍🏻😊 where can I buy your whisky coins? best regards kim
I have not tried any kilkerran yet and yes it might be dangerous me admitting this but I'm definitely going to buy a bottle of the normal 8 year as it's ment to be amazing stuff
@@thewhiskyfriend I always enjoy looking at your reviews. But the sound is often bad. sound is loud and soft and sounds dull… I don't have this with other influencers…
Sorry to here that my friend.... Not sure if its because I'm recording outside in the shed... I'm using a top mic (yeti) so really not sure... I will check this out... Thanks for the feedback....

You joke but it’s gotten to the point where I don’t tell anyone about Springbank and their associated distilleries. I don’t need the competition.
Gutted I couldn't get this. I loved it during GWF and sample from Justin. Absolutely lovely dram
Great review Alan ! But Kilkerran is hard to get nowadays .😪😪
Great review! I’m lucky that I managed to get a hold of the 2 kilkerran 8 ( port & sherry) 2022

I lucked into a bottle, and I actually prefer it to the 2020 Oloroso 😮
Well done Scott.. The 2020 kilkerran oloroso was not one of my faves... This is much better fella
The few bottles we got here were sold out immediately. I was able to get the 16 yo but I have not opened it yet. I continue to enjoy the 12YO. Thanks Alan …well done. Kindest regards, S.
Cheers Sandro.... Its a belter fella.... Need to find this bottle my friend....
The 16 year old is amaing.
It was my favourite at the Glasgow Whisky Festival
I had a lot of favorites that day fella....
One of the highlights of the Glasgow Whisky Festival for me too. 👏🏻 great whisky
Sounds wonderful! This probably won't hit the States for a while, but I MUST get a bottle of this! Cheers Alan!
Same here think I should have tried a wee bit harder to get one... Thanks for dropping in my friend....

Thx for the review Alan. I managed to get a bottle but I'm not sure when to open it :-)
Btw looks like you got a few distillery exclusives from Benromach behind you 👌😁
Open it now my friend.... Yes my best kept secret is Benromach.... The Springbank of Speyside... Ssssh
Great video Alan, thanks for putting in the hard work so the rest of us can get an idea of how these impossible to find bottles are tasting.
Hey Britt... Big mistake my FOMO has kicked in again with this one.... I need to get a bottle.... Thanks for dropping bye fella and you very welcome.... Cheers...
A wise man said to me recently, "Whisky's for drinking!"
Was that me John?... Lol😜

Easily my favourite whisky of 2022 so far. so we'll balanced yet it smacks you in the face. Those fruity flavours but smokey are so balanced.
its up there Ben, just wished id tried a wee bit harder to pick this one up fella....thanks for dropping bye....
@@thewhiskyfriend the @thewhiskeychaps are doing the Kilkerran tasting on Thursday on twitter which I am doing. Tune in
@@whiskywithmolly8974 what time Ben?
It will be released in Sweden tomorrow, gonna try to get my hands on one bottle.
You must get one Mats it's wonderful my friend
@@thewhiskyfriend I wasn't fast enough, sorry to say. So I ordered Glenallachie 10yo CS Batch 7 and Bunnahabhain 12yo instead.
Need to get my paws on one. Cheers. Nice review
Tasted it a week ago. Especially the nose is wonderfull.
Nice. Next live Alan do it Balblair . I realy like tu hear yours opinion.
Do not have enough Balblair bottles Vladimir... May be able to do one in the future by covering the region.... Cheers for dropping in....
Sounds cracking 🥃
it was fella, need to get all over fomo again....lol
I thought the nose and palate were both fantastic
There good both of them can't split them fella...
Hi fella! Excellent review.
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice one Alan, as usual! I don’t know if it will make it over here, but I will keep a key out for it.
Cheers Gary....
Great review Alan!!! Next month this bottle will be available where I live 👍
Where do you live?
Sweden
@@ransu7327 good luck in getting one my friend its a must buy.... Cheers if you manage to get a spare... Please let me know.... Lol
I have not tried any kilkerran yet and yes it might be dangerous me admitting this but I'm definitely going to buy a bottle of the normal 8 year as it's ment to be amazing stuff
It's awesome Callum but tough to find my friend..
I don't think there is a "normal" 8 year old. The core items are the 12 year old and the 16 year old.
@@icewaterchrist I'm half way threw 12 year old and it's very nice, I noticed there is a 8 year but it's a pretty penny bud
F**K the flippers! Great review, If I ever do get a bottle I will not sell it.
Hope you find one fella....
flippers are a bane on the whisky drinking community
I was not a fan....and I can't imagine nosing it out of that glass. It kinda hurt to nose for me, not a common issue.
Wow, that score says a lot Al! Must be every bit as lovely a whisky as we have been hearing - Cheers!
It's a cracker Drew... I might need to track this one down fella.... Thanks for dropping bye and I hope you and yours are well sir....
Sound is really bad :-(
So, sorry Johan... However it sounds fine on my end... What seems to be the issue my friend....?
