Kilkerran
Tasting Notes
Imagine sitting around a crackling campfire on a blustery beach, the salty ocean breeze mingling with the smoky aroma of burning oak. That's the essence captured in Kilkerran's Heavily Peated Batch No.5. This rugged Scotch whisky from Campbeltown beckons with a nose of roasted grains, caramelized sugars, and buttery pastries, hinting at the richness to come. On the palate, a wave of peat smoke unfurls, intertwined with charred oak, tart lemon zest, and a wisp of flamed orange peel. As the flavors linger, the finish conjures memories of beach bonfires and sea-sprayed shores, leaving a lingering warmth and a craving for another sip of this boldly peated spirit. Bottled at a robust 57.7% ABV after aging in a judicious blend of bourbon and sherry casks, this single malt whisky offers a captivating taste of Campbeltown's rugged spirit.
