Kilkerran Glengyle Heavily Peated Batch 13 Single Campbeltown Malt Whisky 58.6%

Kilkerran Glengyle Heavily Peated edition, bottled at 58.6%, was released in December 2025. This smoke bomb is crafted from a mix of 90% ex-Bourbon casks and 10% ex-Sherry casks. Kilkerran Heavily Peated Batch No. 13 is a powerful and characterful Campbeltown Single Malt Whisky from Glengyle Distillery in Scotland. This release is part of the popular Heavily Peated series, renowned for its intense smoky profile and complex flavor universe. With an alcohol strength of 58.6% and maturation in 90% bourbon casks and 10% sherry casks, the whisky delivers a unique combination of sweetness, fruit, and robust peat smoke.

The whisky originates from Campbeltown, one of Scotland’s most famous whisky regions, where tradition and craftsmanship go hand in hand. Glengyle Distillery, part of the Springbank family J. & A. Mitchell & Co. Ltd, produces Kilkerran with a focus on authenticity and quality. Everything is made locally, without added coloring and without chill-filtration, ensuring a natural and genuine taste experience.

The maturation in bourbon and sherry casks provides the whisky with sweetness, spice, and depth, while the powerful peat smoke ties everything together. Kilkerran Heavily Peated Batch No. 13 shows a deep amber color, and the aroma opens with creamy butterscotch, banana fritters, and floral notes of elderflower, all wrapped in intense peat smoke. The palate is dominated by peat smoke but balanced by fruity notes of honeydew melon and an umami touch of Iberico ham. The finish is long and persistent with smoke, fresh herbal notes of verbena, and sweetness from honeycomb.

This whisky is ideal for the passionate lover of smoky whisky who seeks an intense and complex experience. The combination of sweetness, fruit, umami, and herbs makes Kilkerran Heavily Peated Batch No. 13 a journey that evolves from the first nose to the final aftertaste.
