Here we have the sixth batch of Kilkerran Heavily Peated, from the Glengyle distillery. It’s been matured in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks and bottled at cask strength. The Kilkerran range is inspired by St. Kieran, whose religious cell was sited where modern Campbeltown now lies. (57.4% ABV)
