Description
Very much like Kilkerran’s big brother Springbank, Kilkerran’s 16-year-old single malt scotch whisky always generates a feel-good buzz when Australia lands these beauties in quantities too small to satiate demand. Distilled at the Glengyle distillery in Campbeltown, the 2022 edition is a lightly peated (12-15ppm) and non-chill filtered malt matured in a combination of 70% bourbon casks and 30% Sherry casks.
Unfortunately, Kilkerran bottlings are no longer a ‘best kept secret’ with small allocations making it to our shores and bottles snapped up around the world at lightning speed. This expression will sell out fast so, it’s limited to one bottle per customer.

Why the name Kilkerran?
The name ‘Kilkerran’ is used for two reasons. Firstly, because the name ‘Glengyle’ is already used for a blended Highland malt and Mitchell’s Glengyle Ltd were not able to purchase the rights to use that name that. Secondly, and more importantly, owners ‘Glengyle Ltd’ are very proud to be continuing the great Campbeltown Distilling tradition and the choice of name reflects that. Kilkerran is derived from the Gaelic ‘Ceann Loch Cille Chiarain’ which is the name of the original settlement where Saint Kerran had his religious cell and where Campbeltown now stands. Kilkerran is thought to be a suitable name for a new Campbeltown malt since it was unusual for the old Campbeltown
