This is one of Kilkerran’s heavily peated batches, I think they are up to batch 9. If the rest of them taste this good then one should grab whatever you can get. Interesting the nose on this one keeps changing for me and all in a good way. Despite being called heavy peat, it’s mild to me. Really delightful aroma I got oats and vanilla to start and now salted caramel seems to dominate. The flavor is great, sure there is some heat but tamed especially given the level. More salted caramel, a full, well rounded finish that goes on and on. No burn but it hits the tongue hard. Distillery - Glengyle

Wowzers. Citrus, peat, oak, nutmeg, vanilla, pepper, oloroso sherry, bramble, Black Fruit, honey, etc etc. there’s so much going on in there it’s expansive and a bit transcendent! Outstanding — 4 years ago

Mildly peaty with a sweet undertone. WIP 6 is fantastic value at under GBP£40 a bottle. — 9 years ago

Something we brought back from St Andrews, this is much better than the 8.5s I’m seeing on Delectable. Great synergy of sweetness and smoke, this is impressive for a 12-year-old scotch. Well done! — 5 years ago
