Kilkerran's heavily peated spirit is delicious and we're glad to see another batch reach shelves.
Nose: A strong maritime influence. The sweet peat smoke is intense and welcoming as it fills the glass, like a smouldering blackened marshmallow on the campfire. There is a floral earthiness reminiscent of our native blooming white heather.
Palate: Complex. Peat smoke dominates with malty undertones of crushed digestive biscuits. A liquorice note develops as it opens up and there is a hint of sweetness, like sticky honey glazing.
Finish: The finish is long with the strong peat smoke influence remaining alongside malty, cereal characteristics. A slight oakiness is detectable and coastal maritime flavours endure.
