Kilkerran Heavy Peated batch no.7 Vol.59,1% Cl.70

Kilkerran is the small Campbeltown distillery, "cousin" of Springbank.

Batch #7, seventh release of the super peated Kilkerran, let's see where we are with this "Work in progress" from the Glengyle distillery in Campbeltown,

Kilkerran Heavily Peated Batch #7 is Glengyle's seventh release of a heavily peated single malt, for this age-free release, the distillery achieved a peat level of approximately 80ppm!

A peat level around 80ppm is only achieved by Octomore!

This whiskey has been aged, as for the first release, in a mix of casks divided into 55% ex-bourbon and 45% ex-sherry casks.
