At 16 years of age, this is the oldest Kilkerran released by the distillery (Glengyle) to date. It was aged primarily in bourbon casks, but apparently there were also Marsala casks used as well (96% bourbon, 4% Marsala). Like many releases from Kilkerran, this bottle is fairly limited in production.

“Kilkerran” is derived from the Gaelic Ceann Loch Cille Chiarain (head of the lake of St. Kieran’s cell). This was the name of the settlement founded by Saint Kieran, and it is believed that the town of Campbeltown now sits on that spot.
