Tasting note by your BTC host and whisky specialist Nils van Rijn

Ceann Loch Cille Chiarain, whatever will be, will be

Ceann Loch Cille Chiarain is the Gaelic name of the original settlement of Saint Kerran and his religious cult and is also where Campbeltown is situated today. Kilkerran (Distilled at Glengyle) is a distillery we are particularly fond of and for good reason. The story is epic how this was (re)build just to become a separate whisky region known as Campbeltown. This Kilkerran reminds us in a way of old Springbank. This is probably due to the fact that Frank McHardy, former distillery manager at Springbank, put his mark on it. It's the earthy peat and leather and farmy notes that come into play. That combined with that creamy taste only leads to... Kilkerran! We hope you all have become a Kilkerran fan if you weren't one already. Good luck with tomorrow's dram!
