Distillery Location
Kilkerran - 12 Year Old's home is Distillery Location distillery, in the Campbeltown region of Scotland.

Kilkerran is the name that was chosen for the single malt produced at Mitchell’s Glengyle Distillery, there are two reasons for this. Firstly, because the name Glengyle is already used for a blended Highland malt and Mitchell’s Glengyle Ltd were not able to purchase the rights to use that name. They also wished to avoid any possible confusion between the newest single malt to come from the Campbeltown region and a pre-existing blended Highland malt.

Secondly, and more importantly, Mitchell’s Glengyle Ltd are very proud to be continuing and adding to the great Campbeltown Distilling tradition and the choice of name reflects that. Kilkerran is derived from the Gaelic ‘Ceann Loch Cille Chiarain’ which is the name of the original settlement where Saint Kerran had his religious cell and where Campbeltown now stands. Kilkerran is thought to be a suitable name for a new Campbeltown malt since it was unusual for the old Campbeltown distilleries to be called after a Glen, a custom more usually associated with the Speyside region.

    Great Campbeltown Whisky

    Non chill filtered, natural colour 46% volume. One of my favourite Campbeltown whiskies. A fair price paid from a reputable company. Will order a replacement shortly!

    Excellent bottle at a great price

    An earthy orangy nose, palate begins exactly like the nose, then goes a lemon curd and slightly burnt toast. Long finish of more of the above. There is definitely some peat coming through (I'm not a big peat fan) but it is no way overpowering and actually enhances and compliments the other notes.

    Very happy with my purchase, price was great, delivery very speedy, highly recommended.

    Kilkerran 12 is like most Campbeltowns, a little Oiliness and sea salty along with all the other complex flavours
