Portrait: What the Kilkerran Heavily Peated Batch No. 9.
The independent Glengyle distillery was founded in 1872 by William Mitchell and produced a typical Campbeltown malt for half a century before the company closed its doors in 1925 Gates closed.
For more than 70 years it looked as if this decision was final.
However, around the turn of the millennium, Winifred Ewing and Hedley Wright, both descendants of the Mitchell family, made their decision with increased knowledge to move into the new era: After a development phase of four years, the distillery was ceremoniously reopened on March 25, 2004.
The fact that the new malt was christened “Kilkerran” reflects the pride in the long tradition of the Whisky distilling in the region: The name is derived from “Ceann Loch Cille Chiarain”, an early Christian settlement that once stood where Campbeltown is found today.
Tasting Notes: This is what the Kilkerran Heavily Peated Batch No. 9 tastes like.
- Nose: Aromas of freshly baked shortbread and cream soda, behind it banana bread and desiccated coconut - above all strong peat smoke
- Palate: creamy in taste with some vanilla and shortbread, plus pudding cream and the peat again
- Finish: the peat is strongly present in the finish, paired with hints of ripe gooseberries
