Kilkerran Heavily Peated Batch 3 - 70cl 59.7%

NOTE: THIS STOCK IS BEING SOLD FROM A PRIVATE COLLECTION

Kilkerran is derived from the gaelic 'Ceann Loch Cille Chiarain' which is the name of the original settlement where Saint Kieran had his religious cell and Campbeltown now stands.

This Kilkerran is Batch 3 of the Heavily Peated release. 

Bottled at 59.7% ABV and matured in 80% Ex-Bourbon + 20% Ex-Sherry Casks without added colouring and non chill filtered.

Limited to 1 per customer. 

Nose: The nose is bright with notes of citrus and smoked apple wood. A true maritime coastal influence and hints of blackened, toasted marshmallow and tropical fruit sweetness. As ever, that familiar dunnage warehouse funk hangs in the background.

Palate: Initially biscuity and buttery, flavours of liquorice andfennel developing later. Sweet, fruity peat smoke gives way to a drier smoky peat, evoking that real,full smoky atmosphere of the working kiln room. A signature apple strudel note makes its way through and lemon sherbet flavours develop with every sip.

Finish: Long, well integrated peat smoke carries through. It’s remarkably complex throughout with the heavy peat smoke not overpowering. A malty, cereal character and more of a coastal influence coming through in this batch in comparison to previous editions.
