Glengyle's resurrection was spearheaded by the Mitchell family, owners of the nearby Springbank Distillery, with the aim of contributing to the revival of Campbeltown's whisky prestige. Kilkerran whisky is characterised by its slightly peaty and maritime qualities, combined with a rich, complex profile that showcases the distinctive attributes of its production, including its non-chill filtered and no added colour processes. Glengyle's approach to whisky making reflects a blend of age-old methods and contemporary precision, earning Kilkerran critical acclaim within the whisky community.
