When considering a name for a new Campbeltown Malt, Kilkerran emerged as a fitting choice, diverging from the convention of old Campbeltown distilleries usually adopting names associated with a Glen, a practice more commonly linked with the Speyside region.
Glengyle Distillery is a Scotch whisky distillery located in Campbeltown, Scotland. Establishing its official status in 2004, Glengyle Distillery's roots extend to the historic Glengyle Distillery, active in the 19th century before ceasing operations in 1925.
Owned by the Mitchell family, the distillery operates under the Mitchell's Glengyle Limited company. The Mitchells also own the renowned Springbank Distillery in Campbeltown. Many consider Kilkerran the "sister distillery" to Springbank, as it shares traditional production methods and a dedication to craftsmanship.
This edition of Kilkerran 12 year old, which has been matured in a combination of both Bourbon and Sherry casks.
Official Tasting Notes
Nose - Oak notes are dominant on the nose, followed by toasted marshmallows and dried fruit pudding, as well as cherries, marzipan and a hint of peat.
Palate - Initially fruity with citrus notes and orange peel. After this - vanilla, butterscotch, honeycomb and digestive biscuits can all be tasted and enjoyed.
Finish - A velvet and smooth finish with lemon meringue. To conclude, there’s an oiliness and a saltiness that is everything you’d expect from a Campbeltown dram.
Tasting Rating Guide
1: Light, good for beginners - an aperitif on a summers day, i.e. Glengoyne, Auchentoshan
2: Also good for beginners but with more depth and body - a little stronger than 1, ie. Glenmorangie, Speyburn
3: A dram for everyone, a little more complex so the palate requires a little more experience, i.e. Cragganmore, Macallan
4: A stronger spirit, a big whisky with lots of character and body, excellent after dinner, i.e. Lagavulin, Laphroaig
