Distillery Info
The name Kilkerran is derived from the Gaelic, "Ceann Loch Cille Chiarain" which is the name of the original settlement where Saint Kieran had his religious cell and Campbeltown now stands. Glengyle now produces a range of Kilkerran Single Malt whiskies, all natural in colour and non-chill filtered. All our whisky characterises typical Campbeltown drams; rich, complex and perfectly balanced.
Every stage of the production is carried out in Campbeltown. Crosshill Loch, situated on a plateau of Beinn Ghuilean, supplies fresh water to the distillery. Our barley is traditionally floor malted at our sister distillery Springbank then transferred the short distance to Glengyle. All our whisky, including the 12 Year old and 16 Year old, is matured and bottled in Campbeltown. Our award winning single malt is produced in very limited quantities, as we are in production for just 3 months of the year, filling approximately 650 casks annually. – Distillery Notes
