Description
Kilkerran Heavily Peated Batch 13 is a Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky produced at Glengyle Distillery in Campbeltown, Scotland — a historic whisky region known for robust, complex malts.
- Region: Campbeltown, Scotland
- Distillery: Glengyle (owned by Mitchell’s Glengyle Ltd, sister to Springbank)
- Style: Heavily peated single malt (peat level ~45 PPM)
- Proof/ABV: ~117.2 proof (~58.6 % ABV) — cask strength, meaning it’s bottled at natural barrel strength and not significantly diluted before bottling.
- Batch: #13 — part of a series released roughly twice per year.
- Maturation: Mostly ex-bourbon casks (~90 %), with a touch of ex-sherry (~10 %).
- Natural color & non-chill filtered: This is typical for Kilkerran releases — no artificial coloring and minimal processing.
