Description
Description:
Heavily Peated Kilkerran is released twice per year by the distillery at cask strength and around 45PPM. Although the maturation can vary, it is typically matured predominantly in Bourbon casks.
This Kilkerran Heavily Peated Batch #10 is the much-anticipated 2024 release. The whisky was matured in a marriage of 90% ex-bourbon casks and 10% ex-sherry casks and bottled at cask strength with no chill-filtered and no added colouring. As with previous editions, even though these are relatively young whiskies, they showcase the distillery style first and foremost.

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.
