This limited edition version was originally aged in traditional oak casks before being finished in Agave Tequila casks. The tequila used to create this expression originally contained a high-quality 100% Agave tequila produced from 7-8 year-old Agave tequilana, grown exclusively in the Altos (Highlands) region of Jalisco. Highlands tequilas, like this one, are known for their fruitier, more floral character.

Nose: Kilkerran Heavily Peated n°11 offers intense aromas of peat, smoke and ripe fruit, with hints of sea salt in the background. Feel: On the palate, this single malt reveals powerful flavors of peat, black pepper and vanilla, with a round, smooth texture. Finish: The finish is long and warm, marked by lingering notes of peat and dried fruit.
Nose: Powerful, complex and spicy, with hints of Sherry and dried fruit.
Mouth: Round despite the high alcohol content, lovely complexity with notes of vanilla, exotic fruit, sweet spices and Sherry PX well present despite its young age.
Nose: Sweet and delicate, a little spicy and deeply exotic. Viney, suggesting white grapes and Manzanilla sherry, then becomes lush, floral and fruity. A hint of vanilla caramel gradually appears. A drop of water lifts the citrus notes and adds hints of sweet caramel.
Mouth: The texture is soft and creamy, the taste is slightly sweet and fruity. It then becomes more lively, with acidity and spicy, peppery, drying tannins. A drop of water initially brings out the fruitiness without diminishing the spice.
Finish: Medium to long, finishing on a dry, tongue-tingling, warmly spicy note with fruity acidity and a pinch of white pepper.
