Kilkerran released work in progress whiskies every year from 2009 to 2015 so fans could see the progress of the whisky before they released their first 12 year old whisky. These bottles used to be plentiful but fans of Kilkerran have increased a lot and its getting more difficult and expensive to get to try this whisky now. Its a historic bottling which is fun for fans to try.
In classic Australian style, this whisky has absolutely rippled flavour out of its cask. However, while I was expecting spiky youth in the spirit and the abv, it drinks with a maturity and ease that belies these facts. I have since bought two bottles. Absolutely delicious and as good, if not better, than it’s Scotch peers
