Every year since 2009 they have released a limited amount of Kilkerran single malt. The Kilkerran Work In Progress series is now complete with the release of WIP 7 Sherry and WIP 7 Bourbon in 2015. The next Kilkerran bottling will be a 12-year-old Kilkerran Single Malt. This will become the core release for the Glengyle Distillery.

This 12-year-old Kilkerran Single Malt is a must-try for whisky enthusiasts. It is best enjoyed neat or with a drop of water to open up its complex flavors and aromas. Its velvety and smooth finish makes it an excellent choice for after-dinner sipping or pairing with a rich dessert.
