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.
