A blended Whis-kay for each and every day.

The story goes that Ian Macleod was the immortal warrior Highlander's second cousin, twice removed... Just kidding. While they share the same clan name, the first isn't in the business of wielding swords and aerating the family jewels, but rather quality spirits. Ian Macleod Distillers is the home of many a brand including Glengoyne, Tamdhu, Isle of Skye, King Robert II, etc. The family-owned op has fought battles of its own, though. They've kept quality over quantity in the face of adversity — the big and bloated corporations, that is.

The accessible selection of Scotches that they've gathered under the banner of Shieldaig is named for the picturesque loch and nearby town. "Shieldaig" comes from Old Norse and stands for "The Loch of the Herring", but the place is more than just a fisherman's holiday getaway. Shieldaig 'The Classic' Blend is bottled there from a selection of malt & grain Whiskies and it's a well-balanced, pleasant, and easy everyday drinker.

Appearance / Color

Nose / Aroma / Smell
Sherry and fruit notes abound on the nose and are followed by fruit notes, vanilla and toffee. Hints of peat, almonds, and brine round out the bunch.

Flavor / Taste / Palate
It's creamy, rich, slightly oily, and smooth on the palate with malty notes, honey, and fruit.

Finish
Finishes medium with a dash of peat smoke and a whisper of bitterness.
