Another Year, Another Journey to Campbeltown
Another Year, Another Journey to Campbeltown
As the year draws to a close, I find myself instinctively heading towards Springbank. It’s a ritual born out of a slight collector’s obsession - gathering the miniature bottles from the distillery tours over the years. Without them, the year would feel incomplete, leaving a small, lingering void in my collection.
First Sip Delight – Kilkerran 16 Years Old 2025
Compared with the 2024 edition, this release returned the tall bottle and blended a higher sherry cask ratio; last year’s mix (Bourbon 70% / Sherry 20% / Rum 10%) was replaced with a simpler but bolder ratio of Bourbon 60% / Sherry 40%. The stronger sherry cask influence shows clearly in the glass, giving this 16-year-old a deeper, more elegant profile.
