Kilkerran Heavily Peated Batch 13 Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Kilkerran Heavily Peated Batch 13 Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a bold, limited-release Campbeltown single malt produced at Glengyle Distillery. Matured in a combination of 90% ex-bourbon and 10% Sherry casks, this expression balances intense peat smoke with rich sweetness and savoury complexity. Creamy butterscotch, caramelized banana and delicate elderflower aromas lead into layers of honeydew melon, smoked ham and coastal minerality. Bottled at a natural cask strength of 58.6% ABV, Batch 13 delivers a rich, distinctive character with a lingering smoky finish.

Food Pairing: Smoked brisket, grilled oysters, barbecued pork, aged cheddar, roasted almonds, honey-glazed ham or dark chocolate.

Tasting Notes: Intense peat smoke, creamy butterscotch, caramelized banana, elderflower, honeydew melon, savoury smoked ham and honeycomb.

Nose: Rich butterscotch, warm banana fritters, delicate elderflower and gentle coastal smoke.

Palate: Full-bodied and smoky, with ripe honeydew melon, savoury Iberico ham, sweet malt and warming spice.

Finish: Long and smoky, with lingering honeycomb sweetness, fresh verbena and subtle maritime notes.

Serve: Enjoy neat in a Glencairn glass to appreciate its bold peat character. A few drops of water can soften the cask strength and reveal additional sweetness and fruit.
