Product details
Kilkerran's Limited Release Heavily Peated whiskey offers a bold departure from its usual lightly peated profile, delivering a robust and smoky experience with an impressive peat level of around 45PPM. Released twice a year at cask strength, this expression is typically matured in Bourbon casks, though the maturation process may vary with each release. The result is a complex, multi-layered dram that brings together the distillery’s signature flavors with a heavier, peat-forward character.
On the nose, this whiskey opens with inviting aromas of freshly baked shortbread, cream soda, banana loaf, and coconut shavings. The palate is rich and creamy, with buttery notes reminiscent of digestive biscuits and custard creams, carrying forward the vanilla undertones. As the whiskey finishes, the peat takes center stage, balanced by subtle hints of gooseberries, giving the dram a rounded, lingering end. This unique, heavily peated Kilkerran stands out for its combination of creamy sweetness and pronounced smokiness, making it a treat for lovers of peated whiskies.
