Kilkerran’s intense, heavily peated dram
This is the thirteenth batch in the ‘Heavily Peated’ series from Kilkerran. It’s an excellent Cambeltown Single Malt, building around the core of peat-smoke that you’d expect from a whisky bearing this name. Bottled at 58.6% ABV, this hearty, richly smoky offering has become a real classic.
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.
