Tasting notes
Nose: In typical Kilkerran style, there is a citrus element on the nose with notes of lemon and Key Lime Pie, along with touches of toasted rye bread and peat smoke.
Palate: There are notes of toasted marshmallows and campfire embers immediately on the palate, with hints of vanilla and custard.
Finish: The smokiness carries through the finish, along with a mineral note to round off this dram.
