Kilkerran Heavily Peated – Peat in Progress Batch 3 (59,7%)

The Kilkerran Heavily Peated – Peat in Progress Batch 3 is the third batch of heavily peated Campbeltown single malt from the Kilkerran distillery. It matured in ex-bourbon casks (80%) and ex-sherry casks (20%) and was bottled on the 16^th of March 2020 at natural cask strength of 50,7% ABV, non chill filtered and with no added colour.

Nose: Opens up to reveal citrus notes, vanilla cheesecake, rhubarb and custard sweeties 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.
