New notes on KILKERRAN SHERRY CASK MATURED 8 YEAR SINGLE MALT. Tap that πŸ”— IN BIO for deets on this cask strength Campbeltown sherry bomb. SlΓ‘inte! The first sip back after Dry Week is always a special one, and this time it’s Rubicon Ryeβ€”my hometown hooch. Each batch is slightly different and always good. Cheers! It’s that time.
