Sweet Sweet Peat Smoke Peat Smoke Fruit Fruit Sherry Sherry
Variety Single Malt Whisky
Aroma Notes of confectionery lead with lokum (Turkish sweet), pear sweets and marzipan, subtle peat smoke follows with accents of roasted marshmallows by the campfire.
Taste Hints of citrus and lemon cheesecake with Campbeltown's characteristic oiliness. Peat smoke, leather-bound books and peppery, spicy notes develop over time into sweet, sticky facets of toffee pudding.
Finish Peat smoke and undertones of campfire with sweet hints of pecan pie and butterscotch.

Product description

Product description
The name Kilkerran comes from Gaelic and is derived from 'Ceann Loch Cilli Chiarain'. This was the name of the first settlement on the site where the town of Campbeltown now stands. The malt is produced in the Mitchell's Glengyle distillery. The distillery was closed for over 80 long years, but was renovated and reopened by Springbank. The first distillate flowed on 25 March 2004 and the 12-year-old was created from 70% Bourbon and 30% sherry casks.
