Kilkerran Heavily Peated Batch 4

Kilkerran is derived from the gaelic 'Ceann Loch Cille Chiarain' which is the name of the original settlement where Saint Kieran had his religious cell and Campbeltown now stands.

Kilkerran is thought to be a suitable name for a new 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.

Tasting notes:
Nose: A strong maritime influence evokes memories of fishing boats in the harbour and sea salt being carried on the wind. The sweet peat smoke is intense and welcoming as it fills the glass, like a smoldering blackened marshmallow on the campfire. There is a floral earthiness reminiscent of out native blooming wild heather.

Palate: It's a complex whisky and tastes beyond its years. Peat smoke dominates with malty undertones of crushed digestive biscuits. A liquorice note develops as it opens up and there is a hint of sweetness, like sticky honey glazing.

Finish: The finish is long with the strong peat smoke influence remaining alongside malty, cereal characteristics. A slight oakiness is detectable and coastal maritime flavours endure.
