Portrait: What makes the Kilkerran Heavily Peated Batch No. 10 special
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 how the Kilkerran Heavily Peated Batch No. 10 tastes like
- Nose: at the beginning sweet aromas of powdered sugar and créme brulée, followed by vanilla cream
- Palate: softer, sweet peat smoke, paired with notes of roasted marshmallows - followed by clear notes of ripe gooseberries and Parma Violets
- Finish: long in the sweet finish - in addition to the peat smoke, there are hints of fresh orange pulp
