    The Kilkerran 20th Anniversary 17-Year-Old Single Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky is an exceptional, limited-edition release that marks two decades since the reopening of the Glengyle Distillery in 2004. Distilled in May 2007 and bottled in June 2024, this rare expression is a tribute to the craftsmanship and dedication that defines Kilkerran. Aged in a refill sherry hogshead, the whisky embodies deep, nuanced flavours of dried fruit, rich spices, and oak, with subtle hints of smoke, all balanced by the distillery’s signature maritime character.

    With only 269 bottles produced, this cask strength release, bottled at 57.3% ABV, offers a bold and natural experience, capturing the essence of Campbeltown. Its complex layers of dark chocolate, roasted nuts, and stewed fruits are complemented by a gentle oak influence and a touch of sea salt. The whisky finishes with a long, warming, and lingering sweetness, making it a rare collector’s item and a must-have for whisky enthusiasts.

    Glengyle Distillery

    Glengyle Distillery was originally founded in 1872 by William Mitchell, who had previously run Springbank Distillery with his brother John. After a dispute between the brothers, William Mitchell went on to establish Glengyle Distillery as his own venture. The distillery thrived for several decades before succumbing to economic difficulties and ceasing production in 1925. However, the buildings remained relatively well-maintained over the decades, which set the stage for its reawakening in the 21st century.

    In 2000, Mitchell’s Glengyle Ltd purchased the distillery, and after significant renovations, production resumed in 2004 under the guidance of Hedley G. Wright, a great-great nephew of the original founder. The distillery was brought back to life with a dedication to tradition and craftsmanship, focusing on creating high-quality whisky that stayed true to its heritage.

    At Glengyle, the philosophy revolves around a combination of traditional craftsmanship and natural processes. This ethos is most evident in the production of Kilkerran Whisky, which is known for its unique style—balanced, approachable, and less peated compared to its original incarnation. By maintaining a commitment to minimal intervention, the distillery creates whisky that genuinely reflects Campbeltown’s terroir, combining the best of both history and innovation.
