Tucked away on Scotland’s rugged Kintyre Peninsula, Kilkerran is a whisky with deep roots and a quietly defiant spirit. Produced at the Glengyle Distillery in Campbeltown—a region once considered the beating heart of Scotch whisky—Kilkerran is part of a remarkable revival. Where dozens of distilleries once thrived, only a few remain today, and Kilkerran is helping lead the charge to bring Campbeltown’s unique voice back to the world.

First distilled in 2004 after nearly 80 years of silence at Glengyle, Kilkerran isn’t flashy or overproduced. It’s whisky made with purpose, tradition, and a hands-on approach that respects both time and place. Lightly peated and distilled using classic methods, Kilkerran single malts are unfiltered, naturally coloured, and aged in a thoughtful mix of bourbon, sherry, and sometimes rum or port casks—each contributing texture and depth without overpowering the core spirit.

The style is unmistakably Campbeltown: briny, slightly oily, with gentle smoke, stone fruit, and a savoury backbone. It’s robust yet balanced, old-school in the best way, and full of character that unfolds slowly with each sip.

Kilkerran doesn’t chase trends or mass appeal. It’s made for those who appreciate whisky with integrity—where history meets craftsmanship, and every bottle tells the story of a town that’s finding its voice again.
