Kilkerran is adored. But what happens when it’s heavily peated…for less than £50. Magic.

A breathtaking combination of delicate peat (84PPM) and remarkable seeetness from some time being open. In all honesty, I don’t think I’ve ever come across a peated whisky that balances these flavours like this. The sweetness is unexpected, but arrived in the nose with aplomb of vanilla sponge and Madeira cake. The smoke is gentle but writhing constantly at corners of your mouth.

Genius.
