Kilkerran 8 Years Old Bourbon Cask

Sea salt and brine notes emerge in the finish, along with a gorse note.

PRODUCT INFO

Distillery Glengyle
Cask type Bourbon Cask
Whisky type Single Malt

Kilkerran is the single malt whisky produced at Glengyle Distillery, which was originally founded in 1872 and revived in 2004 after nearly 80 years of silence. Located in Campbeltown — once known as the whisky capital of the world — Glengyle is one of only three active distilleries in the region today. Kilkerran whiskies are lightly peated, non-chill filtered, and typically matured in a mix of bourbon and sherry casks, offering a balance of maritime character, gentle smoke, and fruity sweetness. The name "Kilkerran" comes from the Gaelic Ceann Loch Cille Chiarain, referring to the original settlement where Campbeltown now stands.
