Kilkerran 10 Year Old 2013 Fresh Sherry Single Cask #31 Cage Bottle Distillery Exclusive Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky (2024) 70cl

Some of the most sought after bottles at the Springbank distillery are the single casks available.
You can either get them from us or go to the distillery directly in Campbeltown. Going to us means you do not spend £300+ on getting there and only one per week can be purchased and that is assuming you queue for hours sometimes and when they are gone they are gone for the week. One is not guaranteed them if you do go.

Sherried Kilkerran is rare and this tastes like a dream!

Only 264,000 litres are made at Springbank to include Springbank, Hazelburn, Longrow & Kilkerran hence its scarcity making it rare. It also happens to be fantastic too. This is unpeated Springbank in what appears to be bourbon although it retains the new make spirit character of Springbank. If you know you know. It takes a skilled palate to pick this up.

About Kilkerran

The single malt whisky brand produced at Campbeltown’s Glengyle distillery.

Kilkerran single malt was born from the rebirth of Glengyle distillery in 2004. The Campbeltown distillery, which had closed in 1925, was reopened after the turn of the century by J&A Mitchell. However, the Glengyle brand name had been previously sold to Bloch Bros, leaving the distillery’s new owners to consider an alternative name for its single malt. Kilkerran – Cille Chiarain in Gaelic – is the original name of Campbeltown.

Lightly peated and non-chill-filtered, the 12-year-old is matured 70% in ex-Bourbon casks and 30% in ex-Sherry casks. The result is a far cry from the traditional heavy malt distilled at Glengyle during the Victorian era.

The annual ‘Work-in-Progress’ releases were matured either in ex-Bourbon or ex-Sherry and were released in quantities of between nine and 18,000 bottles.

Glengyle distillery was founded by William Mitchell in 1872, and it remained in family ownership until 1919. After it was closed by West Highland Malt Distilleries in 1925 the distillery and remaining stocks were acquired by Bloch Bros, which had also bought Glen Scotia.

The distillery was silent for three-quarters of a century, but was purchased by J&A Mitchell in 2000. Four years later Glengyle was reopened, and its first Kilkerran single malt released in 2009 as a 5-year-old ‘Work-in-Progress’ expression. Annual work in progress releases continued thereafter until 2015.

In 2016 a permanent 12-year-old expression was released.
