Kilkerran Heavily Peated Batch #7
Regular price $88.00
Limit of One per Household
Kilkerran believes in keeping things natural. They use the local water source, Crosshill Loch, to supply the distillery with water throughout the process, from steeping the barley until 'proofing' the whisky at the bottling stage. The spirit matures at its own pace in Glengyle's warehouses and when it is time for bottling the spirit is not chill filtered nor is any caramel colour added. Cask makeup: 75% Bourbon and 25% Sherry.
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.
