About the Distillery:
Kilkerran is the name that was chosen for the single malt produced at Mitchell’s Glengyle Distillery. Kilkerran is derived from the Gaelic ‘Ceann Loch Cille Chiarain’ which is the name of the original settlement where Saint Kerran had his religious cell and where Campbeltown now stands. Kilkerran is thought to be a suitable name for a new Campbeltown malt since it was unusual for the old Campbeltown distilleries to be called after a Glen, a custom more usually associated with the Speyside region.

About the whisky:

The latest edition of Kilkerran's Peat In Progress series. A departure from our typically lightly peated single malt, our Heavily Peated Kilkerran is released twice per year at cask strength and around 45PPM. Although the maturation can vary, it is typically matured predominantly in Bourbon casks.

Cask Maturation: 90% Bourbon, 10% Sherry

Proof: 116.8

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Creamy butterscotch and caramel notes in the beginning, with the development of notes of rye bread and tea leaf.

Palate: A familiar oiliness and smokiness is introduced on the palate, with notes of Iberico ham and brandy snaps.

Finish: A gentle finish, there are notes of lemon sherbet, honeycomb and mint, with peat smoke carrying through to the finish.
