The eleventh batch of the rather excellent 'Heavily Peated' single malt from Glengyle distillery, Campbeltown. Released in the winter of 2024, this latest batch has been created from ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks then bottled at 57.9% vol. Always an excellent and high standard release from Glengyle distillery.
Tasting Notes
Awards
Nose
In typical Kilkerran style, there is a citrus element on the nose with notes of lemon and key lime pie, along with touches of toasted rye bread and peat smoke.
Palate
There are notes of toasted marshmallows and campfire embers immediately on the palate, with hints of vanilla and custard.
Finish
The smokiness carries through to the finish, along with a mineral note to round off this dram.
