Kilkerran's heavily peated single malt, crafted at the Glengyle distillery in Campbeltown, is a beloved expression. It matures in a blend of ex-bourbon and sherry casks, showcasing the distinctive Campbeltown qualities marked by bold brine and fruity notes. This edition also boasts flavors of smoky peat, freshly baked bramble apple pie, and sweet salted caramel, all leading to a creamy, lingering finish.
Tasting Note by Kilkerran:
Nose: Opens up to reveal citrus notes, vanilla cheesecake, rhubarb and custard sweets with delicate peat smoke.
Palate: Freshly baked Bramley apple pie and sweet salted caramel. The peat is prolific yet well integrated. A fresh coastal influence evokes memories of a blustery, busy, sea sprayed harbour.
Finish: Long and creamy. Notes of toasted oak and pencil shavings give way to a lasting sweet, fruity peat smoke.
