Glengyle Distillery Kilkerran Heavily Peated Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml (Batch 12)

Description

Product Description: Kilkerran Heavily Peated Cask Strength Batch 12 is a powerful Campbeltown single malt that leans fully into smoke, texture, and intensity. Distilled at Glengyle, this release departs from the distillery’s lightly peated core style, using malt peated to around 45 PPM to deliver a bold yet carefully balanced expression. Matured predominantly in ex-bourbon casks with a small proportion of ex-sherry casks, the whisky highlights Kilkerran’s distinctive oily character and maritime influence. Coastal peat smoke leads the profile, supported by sweet vanilla oak, subtle dried fruit, and a saline minerality that keeps the whisky focused and structured. Bottled at natural cask strength of 58.4% ABV, it is presented without chill filtration or added colour. Batch 12 has gained particular attention for its clarity and balance, with the peat seamlessly integrated into the spirit rather than overpowering it. Best enjoyed slowly, neat or with a small splash of water, this is a confident and expressive release for lovers of heavily peated whisky with depth and precision. Tasting Notes NOSE– Smoky and sea‑sprayedBold peat smoke rises alongside hints of brine, salted caramel, cedar, dried fruit and a faint coastal iodine tang. PALATE– Rich, oily and layeredA deep oily mouthfeel opens into waves of sweet vanilla and caramel, dark malt, coastal brine, soot and earthy peat. Notes of smoked ham and lingering barley sweetness add depth. FINISH– Long, smoky and warmingSmoke and sea salt linger as soft wood spice and tobacco emerge, leaving a clean yet intimidatingly powerful fade that quivers with peat embers and gentle bitterness.
