Kilkerran - Glengyle Distillery 46% vol. 0,7l
- Order number: 12020
Glengyle was founded in 1873 in Campbeltown by William Mitchell.
The distillery fell victim to the great whiskey crisis in Campbeltown in 1925. For over 75 years, the distillery stood still until the descendants of the founders, Winifred Ewing and Hedley Wright, decided at the turn of the millennium to bring the distillery to life again.
The production houses were completed in 2002 and successively the "Mashtun", the "Stills" and the "Mill" arrived.
On 25.03.2004 it was finally time, the distillery Glengyle solemnly opened its gates again.
Five years after opening, Kilkerran bottling becomes "Work in Progress" (the name "Kilkerran" is a derivative of the Gaelic "Ceann Loch Cille Chiarain" and refers to an early Christian settlement of Saint Kerran, on the grounds of today's Campbeltown) presents the first tasting of this old distillery.
Kilkerran is a lightly punched, twice distilled golden yellow malt. Strong, sweet fruit on the nose, with slightly peppery aromas. In the body more fruity sweetness.
In the truest sense of the word "work in progress", a whiskey that develops further, full of joie de vivre and flavors. In the finish he spoils the tongue with his incomparable aromas of sweet vanilla.
