Kilkerran Work in Progress 5 Sherry Cask

Nose: Light, vanilla, bananas, some peat Palate: Light but rough around the edges, cloves, vanilla, tropical fruits, touches of peat and licorice Finish: Makes the mouth water, peat, banana skins, a lot of alcohol Comments: I love the idea of this. You can really taste where this whisky is going, but it is not quite there yet. It’s got a little too much heat and alcohol. A little more time in the barrel is going to make this a great whisky. If you get a chance, you should try this. It is great for your whiskey education. I’m hoping they are holding back a few bottles of this each year so we can do side-by-side tastings when the 12yo drops seven years from now. Rating: Average/Must Try For Whisky Nerds
