Description

📝 Tasting Notes (Producer and Enthusiast Consensus)

Kilkerran Heavily Peated Batch 11 is particularly noted for its interplay of creamy sweetness and bright citrus with the heavy, dry smoke.

Note Area Description
Nose In typical Kilkerran style, there is a prominent citrus element with notes of lemon and key lime pie. This is matched by touches of toasted rye bread and a steady presence of peat smoke.
Palate Notes of toasted marshmallows and campfire embers emerge immediately, with hints of vanilla and custard. The mouthfeel is often described as oily/viscous, carrying a great balance between the creamy sweetness and the sooty peat.
Finish The smokiness carries through and is joined by a mineral note (often a salty or earthy character) to round off the dram, with some reviewers noting dry smoke and black pepper.

Kilkerran Heavily Peated Batch 11 maintains the high quality expected from Kilkerran, offering a bold yet complex dram where the bourbon influence provides a great canvas for the intense smoke.
