Kilkerran Heavily Peated Batch No. 9

Campbeltown whiskies, especially those from J&A Mitchell & Co.’s independently owned Springbank and Glengyle distilleries, are in very high demand these days! We’re therefore delighted to share this Kilkerran single malt from Glengyle with you.

Glengyle shares its production team with Springbank, only operating for part of the year with the majority of production dedicated to their lightly peated style, making this heavily peated whisky an even rarer treat. Originally operating from 1872 to 1925, having been founded by the Mitchell family, the distillery was brought back to life in 2004. This was partly – or so the story goes – to help preserve Campbeltown’s status as an official whisky region as the number of distilleries in this once busy ‘whisky metropolis’ had fallen to just two. Batch 9 is predominantly aged in bourbon casks, with approximately 10% matured in sherry casks, before being bottled at cask strength.
