The Kilkerran 8yo Cask Strength is a single malt Scotch whisky produced at the historic Glengyle Distillery, located in Campbeltown, known as the "whisky capital of the world." Bottled at a robust cask strength of 57.4% ABV, this limited annual release has been matured for 8 years exclusively in Oloroso sherry casks. This maturation process imparts a rich maritime coastal taste with notes of blackcurrants, cherries, and redcurrants.
Founded in 1872, the Glengyle Distillery was rejuvenated in 2004 by the Mitchell family, who have been distillers in Campbeltown since 1837. The Kilkerran 8 Year Old Sherry Cask Matured is a testament to the distillery's commitment to traditional craftsmanship and heritage. Naturally colored and non-chill filtered, this whisky exemplifies the meticulous attention to quality that Glengyle is known for.
The distillery is part of J & A Mitchell & Company, which also owns the Springbank Distillery, the oldest independent bottler William Cadenheads, and several other blended Scotch labels. Springbank, located in one of Scotland's most remote regions, remains family-owned and produces both peated and unpeated expressions under three distinct brands: Springbank, Hazelburn, and Longrow.
The name Kilkerran is derived from the Gaelic "Caen Loch Cille Chiarain," referring to the original settlement where Saint Kieran had his religious cell. This whisky offers a rich and intense flavor experience with its high alcohol content, making it a remarkable example of the traditional methods of whisky production that have made Campbeltown malts so distinct and highly sought after.
