Glengyle Distillery Kilkerran Work in Progress 6 Bourbon Wood 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Interesting, off-dry bouquet hints at vanilla finger biscuits, ginger bread and later, stewed apples. Lively and mildly peppery, but the overall balance is spot on; a lipsmacking harmony of juicy malt and spicy, drying wood notes are nicely rounded off with a whisper of peat. Concludes crisp, clean and very moreish indeed. 46% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

Other reviews... As with its sherry wood-matured sibling, this 10 year old release comprises 9,000 bottles and was distilled using the same lightly peated malt and bottled without chill filtration. Lemongrass, a pinch of salt, wood smoke, and ginger snaps on the nose. Tropical fruits on the soft, slightly oily palate, with a slight underpinning of spicy smoke. Nutty, drying, with mellow spice in the finish. 88 points - www.whiskyadvocate.com (Winter 2014)
