Glengyle (Kilkerran Whiskies) Kilkerran 12
Kilkerran is the name that was chosen for the single malt produced at Mitchell's Glengyle Distillery, there are two reasons for this. Firstly, because the name Glengyle is already used for a blended Highland malt and Mitchell's Glengyle Ltd were not able to purchase the rights to use that name. They also wished to avoid any possible confusion between the newest single malt to come from the Campbeltown region and a pre-existing blended Highland malt. Secondly, and more importantly, Mitchell's Glengyle Ltd are very proud to be continuing and adding to the great Campbeltown Distilling tradition and the choice of name reflects that. Kilkerran is derived from the Gaelic 'Ceann Loch Cille Chiarain' which is the name of the original settlement where Saint Kerran had his religious cell and where Campbeltown now stands. Kilkerran is thought to be a suitable name for a new Campbeltown malt since it was unusual for the old Campbeltown distilleries to be called after a Glen, a custom more usually associated with the Speyside region.

Tasting Notes
Nose: Oak notes are dominant, followed by toasted marshmallows and dried fruit pudding, as well as cherries, marzipan and a hint of peat.
Palate: Initially fruity with citrus notes and orange peel, after this: vanilla, butterscotch, honeycomb and digestive biscuits can all be tasted and enjoyed.
Finish: Velvet and smooth with lemon meringue, to conclude, there's an oiliness and a saltiness that you'd expect from a Campbeltown dram.
Tamdhu Batch Strength
Tamdhu was born in 1897, on the banks of the River Spey. Now, as then, every drop is crafted with the same care- starting with water drawn from our own spring. While all Tamdhu matures exclusively in the finest Oloroso sherry casks, Tamdhu Batch Strength 006 goes further still. Each cask is meticulously hand-selected to create this one-of-a-kind release. Moreover, a high proportion of these casks are first-fill: the very best of the very best. This scarce wood bears two great gifts: colour and taste. The deep copper hue of Tamdhu Batch Strength 006 is developed by the cask, nothing more- and each drop owes its rich, complex taste to its Oloroso cask home. Finally, Batch Strength 006 is bottled un-chillfiltered at high strength. A magnificent Speyside Single Malt for the sherry wood connoisseur.

Tasting Notes
Nose: The fresh spiciness of oak, then roasted nuts and warming vanilla.
Palate: Summer berry pudding with creme anglais. A dash of water brings orange, lemon and even more oak spice.
Finish: Cinnamon spice swells, revealing a long farewell of citrus zest and ripe figs.
