Kilkerran 12-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky: Embracing Campbeltown's Rich Tradition
Kilkerran 12-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a proud addition to Campbeltown's distilling legacy, a region with a rich history of producing exceptional Scotch whisky. The choice of the name "Kilkerran" reflects a deep appreciation for this tradition and carries a piece of Campbeltown's heritage.
A Name Rooted in History:
The name "Kilkerran" has its origins in the Gaelic language, harkening back to the very beginnings of Campbeltown. It is derived from "Ceann Loch Cille Chiarain," which was the name of the original settlement where Saint Keiran had his religious cell. Campbeltown grew around this religious site, and "Ceann Loch Cille Chiarain" became the foundation for the town.
A Unique Choice:
Kilkerran stands out as a suitable name for a new Campbeltown Malt, as it was uncommon for the older Campbeltown distilleries to be named after a glen. This practice was more commonly associated with the Speyside region. Choosing a name deeply rooted in Campbeltown's history pays homage to the town's origins and the spiritual heritage that shaped its destiny.
Preserving Tradition:
Kilkerran 12-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a living testament to the enduring legacy of Campbeltown's distillation heritage. The distillery, Mitchell's Glengyle Ltd., proudly continues and adds to this great tradition, preserving the spirit of Campbeltown in every bottle.
With each pour of Kilkerran 12-Year-Old, you're not just enjoying a superb Scotch whisky; you're immersing yourself in the history, culture, and dedication to craft that define Campbeltown and the enduring tradition of Scottish distillation. It's a fitting tribute to the land where it all began, and a toast to the future of Campbeltown whisky.
