About the Distillery:
Kilkerran is the name that was chosen for the single malt produced at Mitchell’s Glengyle Distillery. Kilkerran is derived from the Gaelic ‘Ceann Loch Cille Chiarain’ which is the name of the original settlement where Saint Kerran had his religious cell and where Campbeltown now stands. Kilkerran is thought to be a suitable name for a new Campbeltown malt since it was unusual for the old Campbeltown distilleries to be called after a Glen, a custom more usually associated with the Speyside region.

Tasting Notes
Awards/Reviews:
"Nose: The dominance of bourbon oak gives it a very clean profile. Strong peat with a generous creamy note, think cream soda with shortbread and hints of vanilla cream. Then hints of banana cake, some coconut aromas. After a while also a honeyed, lightly tropical hint. Some coastal elements in the background.
Mouth: Hints of mango, lime and pink grapefruit, along with honey. Then it moves to caramel before the charred herbs make it drier. Gets a little woody, with a charred and tannic edge.
Finish: Long loasting, with more charred notes, fading peat smoke, black peppercorns and charred rosemary.
A good option if you’re into heavily peated Campbeltown whisky. The nice fruitiness of this release is a positive surprise." - Whisky Notes
