Product description
This Kilkerran single malt matured for 8 years in Oloroso sherry casks before being bottled at cask strength and comes from the Glengyle distillery in Campbeltown. The Mitchell's Glengyle distillery was closed for over 80 long years, but was reorganised and reopened by Springbank. The first distillate flowed on 25 March 2004 and the name Kilkerran comes from the Gaelic 'Ceann Loch Cilli Chiarain'. This was the name of the first settlement on the site where the town of Campbeltown now stands.

Abgang:
Kommentar: Ich hatte bisher den 12er, 16er und den Heavily Peated, aber der 8er Sherry Cask schmeckt mir besonders gut. Der beste der vier. Ist sein Geld wert, wenn auch der hohe Preis mehr dem Handel zu Gute kommt als der Brennerei.
