About the distillery:

Glengyle is an independent family run distillery based in Campbeltown, the historic whiskey capital of the world.

The original Glengyle Distillery produced whiskey between 1872-1925. In 2004 after 79 non-producing years, the distillery was reintroduced by Mitchell's Glengyle Ltd. This secured Campbeltown's status as a whiskey region.

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 color and non-chill filtered. All their whiskeys feature typical Campbeltown drams that are rich, complex and perfectly balanced.

Core range includes Kilkerran 12 year, the popular 8 year Cask Strength and the recently released Kilkerran 16 year.

Every stage of production is carried out in Campbeltown.
