08-year-old

About

Kilkerran 8-Year-Old is a lightly peated single malt from the legendary Glengyle Distillery in Campbeltown, Scotland. This whisky captures the distinctive 'funk' characteristic of the region—a unique yeasty and mineral quality that defines Campbeltown's spirit. Matured in bourbon casks and bottled at cask strength, this expression delivers a full, oily mouthfeel with impressive depth for its age. The nose reveals white grapes and fruity brandy notes, complemented by mineral mountain water characteristics and subtle smoke. The palate unfolds with soft vanilla and toffee from bourbon maturation, balanced by clean citrus and a distinctive peatiness. The finish is dry and persistent, with dark chocolate and a lightly salty edge—hallmarks of Campbeltown whisky-making.
