We look at the 4th batch distillery release of Kilkerran 8 and see how it stands up to a single cask release by the oldest independant bottler in Scotland, Cadenheads.
Ardbeg have tried something completely different with this release, exclusively using ex-rye casks for its maturation, but did it work? With bonus Ardbeg 10 review.
