About this bottle
Kilkerran Heavily Peated Batch No. 9 is a single malt Scotch whisky from Glengyle Distillery in Campbeltown, bottled at cask strength from a vatting that's roughly 90% bourbon cask and 10% sherry cask. Kilkerran's standard range is only lightly peated, so this batch is a deliberate departure, built to around 45 parts per million phenols. At 59.2% ABV it hits hard, campfire smoke and brine up front, then dried fruit and toffee from the sherry casks underneath, with a long, smoky, slightly maritime finish. Cut it with water if you want the fruit to come forward. This is a whisky for a peat lover who already likes Springbank's house style and wants a smokier cousin from the same town.
How to drink Kilkerran Heavily Peated Batch No. 9
Add a splash of water before anything else, at cask strength the smoke can flatten everything else until it's cut down a bit. Once it's opened up, sip it slow; this isn't a mixing whisky.

Questions about this bottle
How should I drink this one?
Add water before you do anything else; at cask strength the smoke can flatten everything else on the nose until it's cut down a bit.
How peaty is it and how is it matured?
Around 45 parts per million phenols, matured in a vatting of roughly 90% bourbon casks and 10% sherry casks, then bottled at cask strength.
Why is it called Kilkerran instead of Glengyle?
The whisky is named Kilkerran rather than after Glengyle Distillery because the name Glengyle already overlapped with a trademark held by the Japanese brewer Kirin.
