Product details
Kilkerran Heavily Peated Batch 11 is a robust single malt Scotch whisky from Campbeltown's Glengyle Distillery, a historic establishment revived in 2004 under the ownership of J&A Mitchell. Known for its commitment to traditional whisky-making methods, Glengyle completes every step of production on-site, from malting to bottling. This eleventh batch showcases the distillery's dedication to crafting distinctive peated expressions, offering enthusiasts a richly smoky and flavorful experience.
On the nose, this whisky presents citrus elements characteristic of Kilkerran, with notes of lemon and key lime pie, complemented by toasted rye bread and peat smoke. The palate reveals flavors of toasted marshmallows and campfire embers, accompanied by hints of vanilla and custard. The finish carries through the smokiness, along with a mineral note to round off this dram.
This cask-strength whisky, bottled at 57.9% ABV, is matured predominantly in bourbon casks, with a composition of 90% bourbon and 10% sherry casks. Its bold flavor profile pairs excellently with hearty dishes such as smoked meats, aged cheeses, or dark chocolate desserts, enhancing the dining experience with its depth and complexity.
