A departure from their typically lightly peated single malt, the Heavily Peated Kilkerran is released twice per year at cask strength and around 45PPM. Matured in 90% Bourbon casks and 10% sherry cask. The dram opens with enticing notes of candy floss and crème brulée. Flavourwise, the peat smoke is soft and sweet, with toasted marshmallows typical of the Kilkerran Heavily Peated range. Hints of gooseberries and violets confectionary develop over time. The finish lingers, sweet with an orange peel lift.
Kilkerran pride themselves on completing all parts of the whisky production process on site giving them unrivalled control over the quality of the whisky. From the traditional floor maltings conducted at their sister distillery, Springbank, to the bottling of every edition at their bottling hall in Campbeltown. Sharing a production team and calendar with the neighbouring Springbank Distillery, Glengyle has a short production period of around three months per year, typically operational from October – December. This means Kilkerran is among the most handmade in Scotland.
Item does not come with external tube. Producer Note: “It is our intention to reduce the amount of packaging we use across our group of companies, from Springbank and Kilkerran to William Cadenhead Ltd, and that any we do use is produced and procured as sustainably as possible."
