🌋 Kilkerran Heavily Peated Small Batch Single Malt
Buy Kilkerran Heavily Peated: Secure this limited and highly popular annual Campbeltown Single Malt release. This expression is a dramatic departure from Kilkerran’s lightly peated core range. It offers immense smoke balanced by Campbeltown’s unique complexity.
Intense Peat & Cask Strength: The barley is malted to a robust 45 \PPM (Phenol Parts per Million). This creates a powerful, smoky profile. The whisky is fully matured in a mix of ex-Bourbon (90%) and ex-Sherry (10%) casks. This careful balance ensures the smoke is rich but not overwhelming. It is consistently bottled at natural cask strength, maximizing flavour impact. No chill filtration or added colour is used.
Tasting Profile (Typical Batch): The whisky exhibits a pale gold colour. The nose is immediate with intense smoke, lemon zest, and toasted rye bread. Aromas of campfire embers and creamy butterscotch emerge clearly. The palate is rich, oily, and full-bodied. Sweet notes of vanilla custard and toasted marshmallows dominate the taste. Hints of mineral salt, grilled fruit, and medicinal char provide complex layers. The finish is exceptionally long and dry. Lingering smoke and savoury spice conclude the experience.
