Loch Fyne Whiskies ‘New in Stock: Kilkerran WIP 5 Sherry Wood’
Kilkerran Work in Progress 5 Sherry Wood 46%abv
£34.00 inc vat – £28.33 ex vat
From Glengyle Distillery, Campbeltown. Limited to 9000 bottles. Official Tasting Notes: Color: Amber Nose: Who’s chocolate orange is this? Dark chocolate, marzipan, honey covered dates and strawberries build up to a very rich and sweet ginger preserve. A very complex nose that doesn’t stop developing in the glass. Palate: The honey covered dates return on the palate mixed with sultanas and black treacle fudge. This dram is as wholesome and tasty as a warm, toasted cinnamon and raisin bagel with real butter melting on top. Finish: Medium, well balanced and round finish, presence of dark chocolate
Best regards,

Jack Teeling, founder of the Teeling Whiskey Company, commented,
“We are proud to be able to release some of the oldest ever bottlings of Irish Single Malt with our Vintage Reserve Collection. These offerings are central to our goal to play the lead role in bringing an independent voice back to the Irish whiskey category and will help drive diversity in the category by introducing interesting and unique small batch bottlings of Irish whiskey. Teelings Silver Reserve Single Malt is a celebration of everything good about Irish whiskey – from its robust nose to its fully rounded and balanced array of flavours. There is nothing else like it in the market.”

The product will be initially only available in Ireland through Dublin Airport, the Celtic Whiskey Store and in quality independent off licences and will then be rolled out to international markets such as the UK, Canada, NZ, Belgium, Germany and France.
Loch Fyne Whiskies ‘New in Stock: Kilkerran WIP 5 Bourbon Wood’
Kilkerran Work in Progress 5 Bourbon Wood 46%abv
£34.00 inc vat – £28.33 ex vat
From Glengyle Distillery, Campbeltown. Limited to 9000 bottles. Official Tasting Notes: Color: Hay Nose: This is evidently a Campbeltown dram. The waxy, lightly smoky nose with hints of leather gives away the origin of this dram. Rich and creamy with hints of American cream soda, apricots, dark fruit and linseed. Palate: Just like previous WIPs the tangy orange and citrus marmalade notes remains. A little bit sweeter than previous WIP releases, with clear presence of apricot jam. There is a great weight of Campbeltown sea air present. Very smooth and fruity. Finish: Fresh, sweet yet dry finish.
Best regards,
Loch Fyne Whiskies

The Ardbog Day whisky has arrived. Very limited and only available while stocks last.
Bottled at a strength of 52.1% and balanced with softer sweeter casks to create a dram of great depth and peaty complexity.
Colour – deep ochre
Aroma – deep, enticing waves of pecan nuts, salty toffee and caramels, with a distinct whiff of herbs, lavender and violets. Soft, aromatic smoke is interwoven with salty savoury notes. Water brings forth herbal notes, smoked rhubarb and aged balsamic vinegar.
Taste – a full oily/tingly mouthfeel leads into a powerful, savoury burst of flavours – salted cashews and peanuts, clove, aniseed toffee, green olives and a curious hint of anchovy. A lingering aftertaste in which classic Ardbeg sweetness is kept in check by oak tannins, clove and coffee grounds.
