Kilkerran Heavily Peated Batch 13 (2025) (58.6%)

Kilkerran Heavily Peated Batch 13 is a cask strength Campbeltown single malt from Glengyle, bottled at 58.6% ABV without chill filtration or added colour. It is made from barley peated to around 45 PPM. The batch is vatted from 90% ex-bourbon and 10% ex-sherry casks, the bourbon wood adding vanilla, caramel and honey and the sherry adding dried fruit and warm spice. The nose combines heavy peat smoke, salted caramel, wet ash and butterscotch. The palate is oily, with smoke around juicy melon, black pepper and liquorice, and a salty, savoury depth. The finish is long and warming, with peat, toasted oak and a touch of ash.
