Kilkerran 8 year old bourbon matured 2026, bottled at cask strength. Aged for 8 years in bourbon casks, this 2026 release is a chance to experience Springbank's sister distillery in its purest form. Bourbon casks tend to have a lighter influence on spirit, and the bottling strength will bring more flavour. Made by the Springbank team at the Glengyle distillery, Kilkerran is only distilled for 3 months of the year.
