Kilkerran
Kilkerran Single Malt is produced at Glengyle Distillery. Glengyle is an independent, family run distillery based in Campbeltown, the historic whisky capital of the world.
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 colour and non-chill filtered. All our whisky characterises typical Campbeltown drams; rich, complex and perfectly balanced.
