This Kilkerran Heavily Peated Batch 12 is a Campbeltown single malt whisky at 58.4% ABV, non-chill filtered with natural color, cask strength, limited yield, highly rare. Peated to ~45 PPM, fully matured in ex-bourbon barrels with a small portion of sherry casks for intense balanced peat. It features a golden color; the nose offers smoky peat, freshly baked bramble apple pie, sweet salted caramel, savory meatiness, poultry seasoning, and dry wood. The palate is full and smooth, layering bold peat, toasted marshmallow, vanilla custard, earthy spices (pepper, ginger, cumin), salted caramel, and coastal minerality. The finish is long, carrying burnt wood, cigar, salt, black pepper, citrus, tobacco, and coffee.
