Mitchell had previously been involved with Springbank distillery but following a quarrel with his brother John, with whom he owned Springbank, he first joined his other brothers at Reichlachan distillery before venturing out on his own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1919 the distillery was sold as a result of the post-war economic downturn which was badly affecting all the distilleries in the Campbeltown Region. In 1924 the distillery changed hands again and by 1925 had ceased production with all remaining stock being sold off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"rtecenter\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/2338\/1151\/files\/Glengyle_480x480.jpg?v=1673034827\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter being used as a rifle range, an attempt to reopen the distillery by Maurice Bloch, who, with his brother, also owned the Glen Scotia distillery, failed due to Second World War as did a second attempt by Campbell Henderson Ltd. in the 1950s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn late 2000 the company of Mitchell's Glengyle Ltd. was formed with the express purpose of renovating and rebuilding the Glengyle distillery. Mitchell's are associated with the Springbank distillery and both operations come under the guidance of Mr. Hedley Wright, a descendant of the Mitchell Family, the original owners of both businesses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the next four years the buildings were repaired to an adequate standard, being restored in line with the local area and the buildings' listed building status (Protected by law). New stills, malt mills, a mash tun and washbacks were installed along with all the related equipment. In reality much of this was not new, coming instead from other distilleries which had either ceased production or had surplus equipment, but it also not the original Glengyle fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe whisky from the new Glengyle distillery will not be called Glengyle, rather it will be bottled under the name Kilkerran. This is both to avoid confusion with the vatted malt of the same name and also because traditionally, Campbeltown malts are not named after a Glen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name Kilkerran comes from the Gaelic Ceann Loch Cille Chiarain (which means \"head of the lake of Saint Kieran's cell\"), the name of a settlement where Saint Kieran is believed to have had a religious cell and where modern Campbeltown stands today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"rtecenter\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8nahDZ1EM-Q\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"kilkerran-glengyle-8-year-old-sherry-cask-matured-campbeltown-single-malt-scotch-whisky","title":"Kilkerran Glengyle 8 Year Old Sherry Cask Matured Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKilkerran Glengyle Distillery’s Cask Strength 8 year old single malt Scotch is a lightly peated masterpiece full of rich decadence and sublime craftsmanship.
