Mitchell's Glengyle Ltd. are very proud to be continuing and adding to the great Campbelltown Distilling tradition and the choice of the name reflects that. Kilkerran is derived from the Gaelic 'Ceann Loch Cille Chiarain' which is the name of the original settlement where Saint Kieran had his relgious cell and Campbeltown now stands. Kilkerran is thought to be suitable name for a new Campbeltown Malt since it was unusual for the old Campbeltown distillers to be called after a Glen, a custom more usually associated with the Speyside region. The seventh batch of Kilkerran's Heavily Peated was released in 2023. It has been matured in a combination of ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry casks. This Heavily Peated Batch 8 single malt opens up to a nose that is slightly mineral, with peat smoke apparent from the outset and a malty cereal note. The palate is full of orchard fruits, apple blossoms and poached pear notes emerge, and the peat smoke becomes more prominent on the palate in notes of campfire embers. A long, sweet finish concludes this heavily peated dram. Note - item does not come with external tube. In the distillery's words: “It is our intention to reduce the amount of packaging we use across our group of companies, from Springbank and Kilkerran to William Cadenhead Ltd, and that any we do use is produced and procured as sustainably as possible."

The distillery’s collaboration with Forsyths, the world-renowned Scottish still manufacturer, ensures the use of high-quality, custom-designed distillation equipment, including Canadian Douglas Fir washbacks and a Glendronach-inspired spirit still.

Product Description: Whisky shaped by shochu heritage, distilled with rare precision in Kagoshima. The Kanosuke Hioki Pot Still is crafted at Hioki Distillery, the grain whisky site of the Kanosuke family, where malted and unmalted Japanese barley is distilled in stainless steel stills under vacuum pressure, an approach more common to shochu than whisky. The result is a light, silky spirit layered with depth from careful maturation. The whisky rests in a combination of new American white oak, ex-bourbon, and re-charred ex-shochu casks, imparting balance between sweetness, fruit, and wood-driven structure. Bottled at 51% ABV, it reveals a distinctive flavour profile that is both innovative and deeply rooted in place. This expression shows how Kanosuke’s shochu lineage continues to shape a new generation of Japanese whisky. The Maker Kanosuke Distillery, established in 2017, has quickly become one of Japan’s most exciting whisky producers. Situated on the coastline of Kagoshima Prefecture, known for its stunning sunsets, Kanosuke’s location offers a unique maritime influence on the whisky maturation process. The distillery is a part of the Komasa Jyozo company, which has a long history of shochu production, and has since expanded to crafting exceptional single malt whiskies under the leadership of Yoshitsugu Komasa. Kanosuke’s distinctive approach includes the use of three different pot stills, each contributing its own character to the whisky. This innovation, combined with the distillery’s commitment to excellence, allows Kanosuke to create complex, yet approachable single malts that reflect the company’s dedication to craftsmanship. Philosophy At Kanosuke Distillery, the philosophy is rooted in innovation, tradition, and respect for nature. Drawing from the expertise of the Komasa Jyozo company in shochu production, the distillery blends centuries-old techniques with modern craftsmanship to produce whisky that embodies the best of both worlds. Kanosuke believes that whisky making is an art that requires a delicate balance of science and intuition. The distillery’s use of three distinct pot stills, along with its commitment to the finest casks for maturation, results in a whisky that offers complexity, subtlety, and harmony. The coastal climate of Kagoshima, combined with the team’s rigorous attention to detail, creates a whisky that reflects the environment while upholding the highest standards of Japanese whisky making.
