About Glengyle Distillery

Glengyle distillery, originally founded in 1872 by William Mitchell in Campbeltown, Argyll & Bute, ceased production in 1925. However, in 2000, it was revitalised as the first new Scottish distillery of the millennium, producing single malts bottled under the name Kilkerran. After four years of repairs and installations, production resumed in 2004, with the first spirit expected to be ready by 2014.

The name “Kilkerran” was chosen because the Glengyle name was owned by Loch Lomond Distillers, and it holds historical significance as the Gaelic name for a settlement associated with Saint Kieran’s cell, where modern Campbeltown now stands.

1. Rarity and Quality

Glengyle is a renowned distillery located in Scotland with a rich heritage in producing fine whiskies. The rarity and quality of their products makes them desirable to collectors and enthusiasts, only increasing their value over time.

2. Age and Maturation

Whisky typically gains value as it ages and matures in the cask. The longer it remains in the cask, the more it has the potential to develop complexity and depth of flavors. We offer cask purchase programs that allow you to select the type of cask and aging duration, providing you with control over the maturation process.

3. Limited Supply

Buying a cask allows you to own a unique piece of Bladnoch’s Kirkcowan Spirit production and a part of Bladnoch’s history. As the availability of aged and limited-edition whiskies decreases over time, the scarcity of these bottles can drive up their value. 

4. Market Demand

Whisky has experienced growing popularity worldwide, particularly with the rise of collectors and investors seeking alternative assets. If the demand for premium Scotch whisky remains strong or continues to increase, it could positively impact the investment potential of your Kirkcowan Spirit (Bladnoch) cask. Recently we have seen the price of a standard bottle of Bladnoch rise from £40 to £80.
