Glengyle Whisky

The original Glengyle distillery in Campbeltown closed in 1925, as the town lost its place as Scotland's whisky capital. Nearly 80 years later, in 2004, Springbank's Mitchell family reopened the distillery to save what remained of Campbeltown's heritage - naming the new whisky Kilkerran to avoid confusion with the historic Glen Scotia. It's a whisky built on resurrection as much as on malt.

    In a region crowded with famous names, Kilkerran has quietly gone about its business for generations. This particular release from Campbeltown shows a side of the distillery worth slowing down for.

    Did you know?

    The name Kilkerran comes from an old Gaelic name for Campbeltown, chosen specifically to avoid confusing the reborn whisky with the original Glengyle distilled before 1925.

About Kilkerran Glengyle Whisky

Kilkerran is the whisky from the reopened Glengyle distillery in Campbeltown, a region that once housed dozens of distilleries. For a newcomer, it's a full-bodied, faintly salty, characterful style; for the connoisseur, Kilkerran is one of the most sought-after names from tiny Campbeltown, since output is limited and each annual release in the limited series sells out within days, making the distillery a fixture on collectors' wish lists.

History & Background

The original Glengyle distillery closed in 1925, but was reopened in 2004 by the Springbank distillery to preserve Campbeltown's whisky heritage.

Production & Style

The whisky is distilled using traditional methods and named Kilkerran to avoid confusion with the old Glengyle brand.

Signature Style

Rich, Maritime, Complex
The flavor offers a rich, lightly maritime character typical of classic Campbeltown style.
