Tasting Notes
Kilkerran 10 Year Old 2004 - Madeira Wood is a delightful single malt whisky that showcases the magic of cask finishing. Crafted by the revived Glengyle distillery, this expression was one of six special releases celebrating the distillery's 10th anniversary in 2014. Unlike its siblings, this whisky spent its final years resting in Madeira casks, allowing it to absorb the rich, fruity flavors of the fortified wine. The result is a deliciously complex dram that combines the classic Kilkerran character with luscious notes of dried fruits, caramelized sugar, and a hint of spice. On the nose, it tantalizes with aromas of raisins, dates, and orange zest, while the palate delights with flavors of stewed plums, toffee, and a subtle oakiness. The finish lingers with a delightful balance of sweetness and dryness, leaving you craving another sip of this exceptional whisky.
