Like every 6 months, the new Kilkerran Heavily Peated comes out, it's become a routine now. The maturation and peat content are the same as on the previous Batch, so there shouldn't be much change to the profile. We still don't know how many bottles are being produced.
 
 
 

Let's Taste It : 
Resiny peat, wood wax and peanut butter on toasted bread. Some fruits, quince and mirabelle plum, but light. A trail of iodine, salt and honey, hints of vanilla with the sea breeze. Airy cereals, wheat grains and barley. Almond with its pod. Soft and silky on the palate, candied lemon and mother-of-pearl, followed by spices, quite strong, cumin, pepper and cloves. Egg white. Long, fairly explosive finish, limestone, lychee, white fruits, grapes and pears, agave.
 
In Short, 
It's not the best in the range. Very similar to Batch no. 9, but just a little lighter in the mouth. If possible, I'd advise you to buy another Batch instead, but it is still attractive value for money.
Score : 87
