About the Distillery:

Revived in 2004 after nearly a century of silence, Glengyle Distillery is a cornerstone of Campbeltown’s whisky renaissance. Located just a short walk from its sister distillery Springbank, Glengyle produces Kilkerran Single Malt using traditional methods, including floor-malting, slow fermentation and double distillation. The whisky is known for its lightly peated, oily and subtly coastal style — a true reflection of Campbeltown’s historic character. Matured entirely in the region’s salt-laden air and always bottled without chill-filtration or added colouring, Kilkerran has earned a reputation for authenticity, craftsmanship and exceptional quality.
