Introducing Kilkerran Heavily Peated Batch No. 9

Oct 2, 2023

Mitchell’s Glengyle Ltd. has once again impressed whisky enthusiasts with their latest release, the Kilkerran Heavily Peated Batch No. 9. As a distillery dedicated to upholding the rich heritage of Campbeltown whisky, this new expression is a testament to their commitment to tradition and innovation. The name "Kilkerran" holds special significance in the world of whisky. Unlike the distilleries in the Speyside region, which often bear the name "Glen," it was not common for Campbeltown distilleries to be named similarly. Mitchell’s Glengyle Ltd. has taken a bold step in deviating from this tradition and has bestowed upon us a whisky that is as unique as its name. One of the standout features of this release is its heavily peated profile. Peat, a characteristic flavor derived from the decayed vegetation of ancient bogs, gives whisky a distinct smoky and earthy taste. With Batch No. 9, Kilkerran has expertly balanced the peatiness, ensuring that it complements rather than overpowers the other flavors. Upon pouring yourself a glass of Kilkerran Heavily Peated Batch No. 9, you will be greeted by a tantalizing aroma of bonfire smoke, mingling with notes of sea salt and citrus. The nose alone promises an exciting journey for your taste buds. On the palate, this expression unveils a harmonious blend of flavors. The smokiness from the peat makes a grand entrance, accompanied by a delightful combination of ripe fruits, vanilla sweetness, and a subtle hint of brine. The interplay between the rich, bold smoke and the underlying sweetness creates a truly dynamic and enjoyable tasting experience. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a delightful warmth in its wake. The flavors linger on the palate, with echoes of smoke and fruit dancing together until the very end. Crafted with care and attention to detail, Kilkerran Heavily Peated Batch No. 9 is a whisky that showcases the best of Campbeltown's distilling tradition. Whether you are a seasoned peat lover or looking to explore the world of smoky whiskies, this expression is sure to captivate your senses. So, grab a bottle of Kilkerran Heavily Peated Batch No. 9, sit back, and savor the remarkable flavors that unfold with each sip. Mitchell’s Glengyle Ltd. has once again proven their dedication to their craft and their commitment to producing exceptional single malts.
