A bi-annual small batch release from the Glengyle distillery in Campbeltown, produced as part of the distillery’s Heavily Peated range.
In contrast to the typically lightly peated house style, these releases use malt peated to 45ppm.
This 13th edition was matured in a combination of ex-bourbon (90%) and ex-sherry (10%) casks.
The whisky produced at Glengyle is named Kilkerran – a historic name for Campbeltown – as the name “Glengyle” was already registered as a blended whisky brand. Kilkerran whiskies are known for their complex and balanced character, with distinct maritime and slightly smoky notes typical of the Campbeltown style.
The Kilkerran range ranges from classic 12-year-old single malts to experimental releases such as Heavily Peated, which has attracted great interest from peat lovers and collectors worldwide. The production is artisanal with traditional methods and long fermentation times, which gives the whisky its depth and complexity.
With its rebirth, Glengyle Distillery has helped to strengthen Campbeltown’s reputation as one of the great whisky regions in Scotland – and Kilkerran stands today as a testament to the dedication, history and passion for single malt whisky.
Non-chillfiltered, naturally coloured and bottled at cask strength of 58.6%.
Nose: Creamy butterscotch and notes of banana fritters and elderflower kick off this heavily peated dram.
Palate: The peat smoke on the palate is complemented by notes of honeydew melon and Iberico ham.
Finish: The smoke continues on the finish along with notes of verbena and honeycomb.
