Kilderkin Distillery takes its name from a small oak barrel known as a “kilderkin,” which is traditionally used for aging ale or spirits. These barrels have a capacity of 18 Imperial Gallons, equivalent to approximately 81.8 liters in the metric system. The founders of the distillery have a strong belief that this specific barrel size plays a crucial role in producing mature spirits of exceptional character.
Drawing inspiration from this iconic vessel, Kilderkin Distillery embraces the spirit of tradition and craftsmanship in their pursuit of creating premium spirits. They have chosen this unique name as a testament to their commitment to producing high-quality libations that reflect the essence of their passion and dedication to the art of distillation.
With this ethos, Kilderkin Distillery continues to craft their spirits with meticulous attention to detail, believing that the use of the kilderkin-sized barrels allows for optimal maturation. The result is a range of spirits that not only honor the distilling traditions of the past but also showcase the creative and innovative approach that sets their products apart.
