Tasting notes：

Nose: The Kilkerran HP has always had something caramelly, but this time you can no longer speak of "something" - at least in the nose - because that's a pretty decent amount of caramel that goes into the nose. Wow. And he looks mature too... Not as heavily peated as his predecessor, Batch #5, for a long time. The smoky note is subtle and set, not obtrusive. Honey, vanilla crescents, redcurrants, quince jelly, strawberries, raisins. Is the higher proportion of sherry casks noticeable here compared to the previous batch?

Palate: Yes, fantastic. That's exactly how it should be: decent alcohol strength (here: 57.4%), but not biting or burning, but soft and warming. Flambéed caramel, toffee, malt, nougat, dark chocolate. Mineral with sea water and a little chain fat. Even on the tongue with only a subtle smoky note, it suits him very well.

Finish: Medium length finish, still very creamy and full. Lots of caramel and toffee, little fruit at the end, which isn't really missing either. Mild peat smoke.
