Much better than last year's edition, the Kilkerran 8 Years Sherry Cask Matured is balanced and intrigues.
Nose
Arrives on toffee and fudge with a slight lactic element also, quickly followed by raspberries and figs. There's mocha, almonds and earthy peat smoke, as wel as a tinge of leather, some dried tobacco leaves, milk chocolate and a pinch of cinnamon. Sweet and fresh and gorgeous. Most importantly, no sulphur.
Taste
Rich, creamy and with plenty of farmy notes, as well as some oak spices, tobacco and very earthy, yet subtle peat smoke. Touches of pralines, cherry syrup and burnt toast also. Finally just a sliver of rubber.
Finish
Charred oak, tobacco and sweet cherries. Medium in length.
