Kilkerran: Campbeltown's Resurrected Whisky Legacy

In this episode of the Whisky.dk ai Podcast, we take you to the heart of Campbeltown—one of Scotland’s most iconic whisky regions—and explore the story behind Kilkerran, the whisky produced by the revived Glengyle Distillery.

It’s a tale of heritage, resilience, and a deep love for traditional craftsmanship. From William Mitchell’s break with Springbank in 1872 to the rebirth of Glengyle in 2004 under the leadership of his descendant Hedley G. Wright, we uncover how this distillery was rescued from obscurity and brought back to life. Kilkerran now stands as a symbol of Campbeltown’s proud whisky legacy.

You’ll learn how the name Kilkerran came to be, why the whisky is bottled without chill filtration, and how its mineral character and subtle peat make it truly distinctive. We’ll taste classics like Kilkerran 12 Year Old and the bold Heavily Peated, and take a closer look at the annual 16-year-old release that whisky lovers around the world eagerly await.

If you appreciate whisky with depth, history, and a strong sense of place—this episode is for you.
