Glengyle Distillery: Home of Kilkerran Single Malt

Kilkerran Single Malt is produced at the historic Campbeltown distillery, Glengyle, originally founded by the Mitchell family and owned by the J&A Mitchell group since its re-build and resumption of production in 2004.

We pride ourselves on completing all parts of the whisky production process on site, from the traditional floor maltings conducted at our sister distillery, Springbank, to the bottling of every edition at our bottling hall here in Campbeltown.

The meeting point for Kilkerran Tours and Kilkerran Warehouse Tastings is:

Springbank Distillery Shop, Well Close, Campbeltown, PA28 6ET

Glengyle Distillery is included as part of our Ayrshire & Kintyre Tour.

The Washback Bar

Situated in the heart of Springbank Distillery, The Washback Bar provides a cosy escape from the often “dreich” weather of Campbeltown. The bar itself is composed of old washbacks which were used at both Springbank and Glengyle distilleries. The Washback Bar offers an exclusive, unique and interesting experience in the home of Springbank and Kilkerran whisky.

With a range of carefully selected tasting flights and whiskies by the glass on offer, visitors have the opportunity to sample exciting new distillery releases, enjoy favourites from the core range and discover rare archive whiskies. There is also a selection of light bites, homemade soup and hot drinks on offer between 12 and 2:30pm daily.

Podcast:

In the January 2026 episode of the Distillery Tours podcast we speak to David Allen, Director of Sales and Marketing at Springbank Distillers.

David shares the rich history of distilling in Campbeltown and delves into the resurrection of Glengyle Distillery in the early 2000s, a pivotal moment that safeguarded Campbeltown’s status as a Scotch whisky region.
