- Description
- Glengyle's Kilkerran represents Campbeltown's only remaining working distillery, with this limited annual release bottled at cask strength from a bourbon cask maturation. Eight years in wood develop a robust character with expected hints of maritime influence balanced by vanilla and toasted grain from the ex-bourbon oak. Bottled at 55.8% ABV without chill filtration or added colour, the full spirit shines through with natural intensity. Perfect for those who want to taste Campbeltown's unique funk and funky mineral character without dilution.
