Nose: The aroma unfolds with a captivating dance of rich sherry influences. Notes of dark, luscious fruits take center stage, as sherry-soaked raisins and figs intertwine with a subtle undertone of oak. A delicate hint of brine lingers in the background, paying homage to Campbeltown's coastal heritage. Palate: The first sip reveals a symphony of flavors that evolve on the palate. Toffee sweetness envelops the taste buds, seamlessly blending with the opulence of dark chocolate. The sherry cask imparts a velvety richness, while warm spices, reminiscent of cinnamon and nutmeg, add layers of complexity. The maritime influence makes a subtle appearance, introducing a harmonious balance to the overall tasting experience. Mouthfeel: At 57.4 proof, the whisky delivers a robust and satisfying mouthfeel. The higher alcohol content enhances the viscosity, coating the palate with a luxurious texture that allows the flavors to linger and develop. Finish: The finish is a lingering journey of warmth and sophistication. Oaky undertones emerge, complemented by the enduring sweetness of dried fruits. The spiciness intensifies slightly, leaving a lasting impression that invites contemplation. The balance of flavors on the finish reflects the craftsmanship of Kilkerran's maturation process.

The Mitchell dynasty, owner of the Springbank distillery and the WM. Cadenhead's, one of the oldest and largest independent whisky bottlers in Scotland acquired the distillery in 2000. Four years later Glengyle was reopened and its first single malt, Kilkerran, was released in 2009.
Kilkerran (Glengyle) Glengyle distillery is situated in Campbeltown on the west coast of Scotland. It was originally established in 1872 but closed in 1925 and lay dormant for 60 years. It was revived by J & A Mitchell, owner of Springbank distillery, in 2004.
Peated whiskies are suffused with a smoky flavour by compounds that are released by the peat fires used to dry malted barley. The result is a beautiful smoky flavour and aroma. The malt for unpeated whisky is dried with hot air, without any smoke.
