      A departure from their typically lightly peated single malt, the Heavily Peated Kilkerran is released twice per year at cask strength and around 45PPM. Although the maturation can vary, it is typically matured predominantly in Bourbon casks and a small about of sherry cask.

      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."

      Glengyle Distillery Kilkerran Heavily Peated Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml (Batch 9)

      This whisky has a nose of fresh apples, mixed seeds, strawberry laces and confectionary sweets. A smokiness that would remind you of a smouldering campfire and toasted marshmallows. This leads beautifully onto a palate of Grilled fruits, cooking popcorn, caramelised brown sugar, puff pastry and peppermint creams which sounds an absolute dream to me. On the finish this whisky develops into toasted oats, salted beef, butter, parma ham and crushed vanilla pods. Delightful.

      Glengyle Distillery

      Glengyle Distillery was originally founded in 1872 by William Mitchell, who had previously run Springbank Distillery with his brother John. After a dispute between the brothers, William Mitchell went on to establish Glengyle Distillery as his own venture. The distillery thrived for several decades before succumbing to economic difficulties and ceasing production in 1925. However, the buildings remained relatively well-maintained over the decades, which set the stage for its reawakening in the 21st century.

      In 2000, Mitchell’s Glengyle Ltd purchased the distillery, and after significant renovations, production resumed in 2004 under the guidance of Hedley G. Wright, a great-great nephew of the original founder. The distillery was brought back to life with a dedication to tradition and craftsmanship, focusing on creating high-quality whisky that stayed true to its heritage.

      At Glengyle, the philosophy revolves around a combination of traditional craftsmanship and natural processes. This ethos is most evident in the production of Kilkerran Whisky, which is known for its unique style—balanced, approachable, and less peated compared to its original incarnation. By maintaining a commitment to minimal intervention, the distillery creates whisky that genuinely reflects Campbeltown’s terroir, combining the best of both history and innovation.

      The creamy, vanilla notes carry through to the palate in notes of buttered digestive biscuits and custard creams.

      FINISH

      The peat is prominent in the finish, along with hints of gooseberries to round off this dram.
