KILKERRAN 12 Year Old Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70cl 46% - LONG BOTTLE

Kilkerran 12 Year Old has quickly become a modern Campbeltown classic, offering a beautifully balanced and traditional single malt from Glengyle Distillery. Produced using time-honoured methods — including floor-malting at neighbouring Springbank and slow distillation — this whisky reflects the lightly peated, oily and subtly coastal character that has made Kilkerran one of the most respected names in Scotland. Matured in a combination of 70% ex-bourbon casks and 30% sherry casks, this 12-year-old expression delivers an elegant harmony of vanilla sweetness, maritime freshness, gentle smoke and sherry richness. Bottled at 46%, naturally presented and now available in the new long-bottle format, it remains a benchmark Campbeltown malt celebrated by enthusiasts worldwide.
