Kilkerran is the single malt from Glengyle Distillery in Campbeltown. Founded by William Mitchell in 1872, Glengyle closed in 1925 and was revived by J&A Mitchell, owners of Springbank, who returned it to production in 2004. The 16 Year Old joined the core range in 2020 and returns each year with a maturation recipe that shifts batch to batch. For the 2026 release, that recipe is 100% sherry cask maturation, a departure from the bourbon-led make-up of recent years. Bottled at 46% ABV, 70cl.
