Kilkerran 8 Year Old Bourbon 57.7% 70cl

The 2026 edition of Kilkerran 8 Year Old Bourbon Cask is here! This year’s offering weighs in at a heft 57.7%, with a fascinating profile spanning apples, miso, caramel, sandalwood and cigar-box smoke. It’s perhaps not as intensely peated as previous bottlings, but, with its full bourbon cask maturation, the oily, complex Kilkerran house style shines. Grab a bottle while you can – this is special stuff.

Official tasting notes:

Nose: Notes of butterscotch and custard creams lead, with apple butter and white miso. Cream sponge and poached pear sweetness follows.

Palate: There is a creaminess on the palate in notes of shortbread crust and smooth caramel chocolate, with notes of gooseberries, white grapes, cigar box smoke and sandalwood developing.

Finish: Hints of green peppercorn and honeydew melon emerge in the finish, alongside an ashy note.
