A historic Campbeltown distillery reimagined in the 21st century, Glengyle Distillery was originally founded in 1872, with production ceasing in 1925. After a four year re-build to restore the buildings and install the production equipment, the first spirit was distilled in 2004 to go on to produce Kilkerran Single Malt.

Lightly peated and bottled at their standard bottling strength of 46% ABV, Kilkerran 12 year old provides a fitting introduction to the Kilkerran range, with characteristic citrus notes and an oiliness on the palate. Matured in 70% Bourbon and 30% Sherry casks.

On the nose there's notes of sweet confectionery, with turkish delight, pear drops and marzipan apparent on the nose. There are hints of subtle peat smoke, like toasted marshmallows by a campfire. The palate is initially zesty with citrus notes of lemon cheesecake and an oiliness typical of a Campbeltown whisky. Peat smoke, leather bound books and peppery, spicy notes develop over time, along with sweet sticky toffee pudding.
