Always a joy for peatlovers! That is the phrase that springs to mind when a new batch of Kilkerran's Heavily Peated arrives at our door! Here we have the sixth batch of this tremendous Campbeltown whisky, matured in a selection of bourbon and sherry casks, and boasting hefty helpings of peat smoke throughout.
Tasting Notes:
Nose :Sweet and sooty peat smoke, reminiscent of toasting marshmallows on a beach campfire. Combined with the maritime influence of Campbeltown with notes of fishing creels and salt.
Palate: Sweet peat smoke with notes of honeycomb, gingerbread and mint. A fruity element develops over time in hints of pineapple and banana.
Finish :A peppery finish with notes of allspice, the peat smoke endures to the conclusion of this dram.
