Description

The nose and palate are both so distinctly 'Campbeltown' - slightly foosty (dusty old warehouses) and spiced to start, with hints of dried fruit, malt biscuits and a lemon/citric note. Throughout there is a gentle waft of peat smoke from the barley, and a sea-side saltiness that comes and goes. A distinctive style of whisky that is old-fashioned but timeless - an absolutely cracking dram.

 

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Kilkerran by Glengyles Distillery

The whisky made at the Glengyle [glen-gyle] distillery in Campbeltown is called Kilkerran, named after the Gaelic Ceann Loch Cille Chiarain which is the original name for the settlement where Campbeltown now resides. Glengyle has a rich and interesting history, originally built in 1872 by the Mitchell's of Springbank, it produced whisky until it's closure in 1925.
