About Ian Macleod Distillers:

The Isle of Skye, formed three million years ago from a combination of fire and ice, embodies wild beauty, magic, and legend. The Vikings called it Skiaby – the Isle of Clouds – and its dramatic landscape is reflected not only in stories but also in the taste of the whisky produced here.

In 1933, Ian Macleod created the legendary Isle of Skye blend, which combines distinctive whiskies from the Isle of Skye itself with delicate, fruity malt whiskies from the Speyside region. The result is a rich, balanced and distinctive blended whisky that still carries the spirit of the island today.

Today, Ian Macleod Distillers continues its founder's legacy with an unwavering commitment to quality and tradition. It uses only carefully selected malts, giving Isle of Skye whisky a rich, fruity flavor with the characteristic smokiness of island spirits.
