KILKERRAN HEAVILY PEATED BATCH #4

Burnt toffee, brine, salt, musty, oak, charcoal, oily, cherry

Second tasting doesn’t cone close to laga 12. Very off putting bitter note and butterscotch note intertwined to make this taste like shit. Not quite as bad as auchentoshan but in the ballpark

Wow... what a FUNK! From the first nose, the funk was strong with this one. I had other "heavily peated" scotches, like Port Charllote Heavy Peated and Compass Box Peat Monster, but this one was at another level, unfortunately, not in my wheelhouse. There's definitely briny taste, salty, but not like Talisker, like a little too much. In summary, this is not in my wheelhouse, so I am glad that it was a sample that I was able to get and not a full bottle.

A very salty version of Lagavulin 12 is what it tastes like. The saltiness ruins it. Very rich mouthfeel

Add water to this, and it becomes a glorious butter brioche with honey, with a beautiful balance of sweet and savory Smokey peat. I am in love with Campbeltown funk!
