It's the sister distillery of Springbank, and Kilkerran Heavily Peated Batch 10 is its newest release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKilkerran Heavily Peated Batch 10 is matured in 90% bourbon and 10% sherry casks. These casks combine with Kilkerran's sweet peat style to make for a delectable dram. A typical Campbeltown whisky, there is also a clear maritime influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA departure from the typically lightly peated single malt, Heavily Peated Kilkerran is released twice per year at cask strength and around 45PPM. Distillers then bottled this instalment in 2024 at 57.8% ABV and there is no added colour and no chill filtering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aroma greets you with a powerful peat presence, bringing the distinctive scent of burnt embers and smoked wood. Behind this smokiness, there’s a subtle sweetness from the sherry casks, with dark fruits such as raisins and sultanas. The bourbon casks impart a hint of vanilla and creamy toffee, which balances out the peat. A faint salty, maritime breeze enhances the overall nose, giving it an intriguing depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe taste follows through with a rich, smoky profile. The peat is full and potent but not overpowering. It combines seamlessly with flavours of dried fruits, particularly figs and plums, alongside a touch of dark chocolate. There’s a gentle sweetness, reminiscent of toffee, that works in harmony with the peat, balancing the intensity of the smoke. The mouthfeel is smooth and creamy, with a slight oily texture that coats the tongue and carries the flavours well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finish is long and warming, with the smokiness lingering on the palate. As the peat fades, subtle flavours of leather, spices, and dried fruits emerge, leaving a satisfying complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sohowine.co.uk\/products\/spirits\/whisky\/scotch\/?wpf_filter_region=campbeltown\u0026amp;wpf_fbv=1\"\u003eRelated products\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Soho Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58347988976003,"sku":"B-KILKHPB10","price":54.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/8208\/4739\/files\/B-KILKHP10.jpg?v=1783499530","url":"https:\/\/beyondbottles.co.uk\/products\/kilkerran-heavily-peated-batch-10","provider":"Beyond Bottles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
