Bottled as a clearly delineated small batch and released in 2025, this expression represents one of the most assertive peat-driven bottlings in the Kilkerran lineup, yet it remains grounded in balance rather than sheer force. It is a deliberate snapshot of time and place, shaped by traditional production and a distillery philosophy that favors authenticity over repetition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"977\" data-start=\"957\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"977\" data-start=\"957\"\u003eProduct Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1073\" data-start=\"1019\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"1029\" data-start=\"1019\"\u003eOwner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mitchell family, Mitchell’s Glengyle Ltd.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1128\" data-start=\"1076\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"1090\" data-start=\"1076\"\u003eDistiller:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glengyle Distillery distilling team\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1175\" data-start=\"1131\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"1147\" data-start=\"1131\"\u003eSpirit Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Malt Scotch Whisky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1205\" data-start=\"1178\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"1188\" data-start=\"1178\"\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heavily peated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1227\" data-start=\"1208\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"1218\" data-start=\"1208\"\u003eBatch:\u003c\/strong\u003e No. 13\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1254\" data-start=\"1230\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"1247\" data-start=\"1230\"\u003eRelease Year:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1282\" data-start=\"1257\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"1266\" data-start=\"1257\"\u003eMalt:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peated barley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1345\" data-start=\"1285\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"1302\" data-start=\"1285\"\u003eDistillation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Double distillation in copper pot stills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1405\" data-start=\"1348\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"1363\" data-start=\"1348\"\u003eMaturation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aged in oak casks, primarily ex-bourbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1457\" data-start=\"1408\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"1421\" data-start=\"1408\"\u003eBottling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural color; non-chill filtered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1476\" data-start=\"1460\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"1468\" data-start=\"1460\"\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 58.6%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1502\" data-start=\"1478\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1502\" data-start=\"1478\"\u003eSensory Description:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2174\" data-start=\"1504\"\u003eThe nose is immediately coastal and forceful, driven by dense peat smoke, iodine, and charred driftwood, layered with lemon oil, green apple skin, and a faint medicinal edge. On the palate, the whisky is powerful yet controlled, with waves of earthy smoke unfolding into salted caramel, cracked black pepper, and vivid citrus before revealing a core of malty sweetness. The texture is oily and mouth-coating, with the high strength providing structure rather than heat. As it evolves, maritime salinity, damp earth, and subtle vanilla from the oak emerge, leading into a long, drying finish marked by persistent smoke, mineral tension, and a final lift of bitter citrus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2202\" data-start=\"2176\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"2202\" data-start=\"2176\"\u003eProducer’s Background:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2906\" data-start=\"2204\"\u003eGlengyle Distillery was revived by the Mitchell family in the early 2000s as part of a broader effort to restore Campbeltown’s historic whisky tradition. Operated with a deliberately traditional mindset, the distillery emphasizes slow distillation, minimal intervention, and natural presentation across its releases. The Kilkerran range reflects this philosophy through small-batch bottlings that allow variation between releases rather than enforcing uniformity. The Heavily Peated series is produced only periodically, with each batch intended to stand on its own as a distinct expression of peat level, cask influence, and maturation, reinforcing Glengyle’s reputation for transparency and patience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2932\" data-start=\"2908\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"2932\" data-start=\"2908\"\u003eServing Suggestions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3325\" data-start=\"2934\"\u003eServe neat at cellar temperature in a tulip-shaped whisky glass to focus the aromatics and allow the peat to unfold gradually. A few drops of water are recommended to open the whisky and reveal additional layers of citrus, malt, and coastal nuance. Best enjoyed slowly on its own, though it can complement smoked meats, aged cheeses, or dark chocolate for those seeking a thoughtful pairing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pacific Edge Wine \u0026 Spirits","offers":[{"title":"Batch No 13 \/ 700mL","offer_id":42026427121719,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2699\/1632\/files\/Glengyle_Distillery_Kilkerran_Heavily_Peated_Single_Malt_Scotch_Whisky_Campbeltown_Scotland.png?v=1769295468","url":"https:\/\/www.winedispensary.com\/products\/glengyle-distillery-kilkerran-heavily-peated-single-malt-scotch-whisky-campbeltown-scotland","provider":"Wine Dispensary","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
