Kilkerran 8 Year Old Sherry Cask Strength 58.1% Single Malt Whisky

雪莉桶熟成

Kilkerran單一麥芽威士忌是Glengyle蒸餾廠的出品。Glengyle是Springbank附近的姐妹蒸餾廠。由Springbank創始人Archibald Mitchell的兒子William Mitchell於1872年創立。幾經易手後，於1925年關閉。2000年，距離Glengyle上次出產威士忌75年後，Mitchell’s Glengyle Limited出手收購。其掌舵人Hedley Wright正是最初創辦人William Mitchell的侄曾孫。
重生的Glengyle於2004年蒸餾出第一批威士忌，所有威士忌均在坎培爾熟成並裝瓶。不經冷凝過濾，無添加色素。
