Discover Kilkerran 8yo Cask Strength Bourbon Cask

Kilkerran distillery

Straight from Campbeltown’s Glengyle Distillery, this eight-year?old single malt is matured exclusively in top?quality ex?bourbon casks and bottled at a powerful 55.6?% ABV. Expect a lively, zesty introduction with key lime pie, apple jelly, honey, and vanilla on the nose, leading into a creamy palate of banoffee pie, vanilla custard and panna cotta. The long, sea?salt finish, with coastal brine and gorse notes, captures the soul of Campbeltown itself.

Why it stands out:

  • Cask strength authenticity: non?chill filtered, natural colour, and bottled at full strength—giving you full control over dilution.
  • Rich tasting layers: citrus, creamy desserts, coastal minerality—a dram that evolves beautifully drop by drop.
  • Exclusivity: annual limited release—don’t miss your chance to own a piece of Campbeltown heritage.

Serve it your way
Enjoy neat to appreciate its raw intensity, or add a few drops of water to reveal softer fruit and spice notes. It also elevates whisky cocktails like the Whisky Sour or pairs beautifully with citrus desserts, creamy cheeses or seafood.

Lady of the Glen

With the Box Bizar Project coming closer I am exploring some new brands that offer quality whisky. One of these new independent brands that caught my eye is Lady of the Glen.

All Lady of the Glen brand releases are hand bottled at natural cask strength, without any chill filtering or colouring which means the original taste remains unaffected and the end flavour is pure, full, and always unique.

Each bottle alongside its distinctive floral label and whisky, receives a hand detailed number, making the bottles as individual as the whisky they contain.

Lady of the Glen whiskies are a homage to the long tradition of independent bottling in Scotland and of outstanding and unhurried techniques that create a product that is both rare and special.
