From Campbeltown, Scotland, Kilkerran Heavily Peated Batch No. 13 is a bold single malt that leans hard into smoke while keeping the distillery’s coastal DNA intact. Released at cask strength and matured predominantly in ex-Bourbon barrels, this small-batch whisky pushes well beyond Kilkerran’s usual gentle peat, landing around 45 PPM for a more muscular, expressive style that still feels grounded and traditional.

The nose opens with creamy butterscotch, banana fritters, and a soft floral lift of elderflower before the peat makes itself known. On the palate, dense smoke rolls in alongside honeydew melon, savory Iberico ham, and a subtle sweetness that balances the intensity. The finish lingers with persistent smoke, layered with verbena, honeycomb, and a faint herbal edge.

Made from malted barley and peat, this Campbeltown single malt shines when enjoyed neat to capture its full structure, or with a few drops of water to coax out its sweeter, coastal nuances. A must for peat lovers chasing depth and character.
