Limited edition of the peated single malt Kilkerran aged in ex-sherry fortified wine casks and bottled at full strength.

Kilkerran is the small distillery in Campbeltown, “cousin” of Springbank.

The two distilleries border and are owned by the same owner, Hedley Wright, currently Glengyle uses both the malting floor and the bottling plants of Springbank for the production of Kilkerran, the stills however are owned.

This 8 year old Kilkerran aged in ex-sherry casks is a limited edition for the importer Beija-flor.

A very rare bottle of whisky.

Distilled with pot stills, it is the final result of a series of previous products called Work in Progress, which testified to the work carried out in the distillery for its reopening.

The Glengyle distillery reopened in 2004 after closing in 1925.

The first distillates were placed in small barrels previously used for fortified wines or bourbon.

Kilkerran sherry cask 8 years, produced with double distillation, is lightly peated and is a single malt aged for eight years in the first fill ex-sherry cask.

The bottling of Kilkerran sherry 8 years is exclusive for whisky collectors.
