The true taste of the 6 islands.
Ian MacLeod & Company LTD was founded in 1933 as a Scottish Whisky broker — buying, selling, trading production lots from the major distilleries around Scotland. Over the years the company has grown quite a bit, including more than three dozen house brands and an untold number of private label offerings. Now owned by the Russell family, they run the gamut from Whiskies to Vodkas to Rums, but their core business is still Scotch Whisky.
One of their brands is The Six Isles. The Six Isles is special. It’s the only brand that brings together Single Malts from the 6 ancient islands of Scotland in one blend: Islay, Skye, Orkney, Mull, Arran, and Jura. You could say it’s the wilderness that these Whiskies have in common. Each sip is the essence of island life, from the “dawn breaking over the Black Cuillin of Skye, waves crashing at nightfall on Jura, or spirits whispering at Orkney's standing stones”.
The Six Isles Batch Strength is the truest reflection of the islands. This blended Malt Whisky comes at you at batch strength to show you the character of Island Malts. Weighing in at a respectable 58% ABV, the strength brings out even more maritime notes and vibrantly fruity hints. A super satisfying sipper, expect salty peat smoke, green apple, fresh lime, vanilla, banana, and a touch of black pepper.

90% of all Scotch Whiskies sold are Blends.
Scotland is home to more than 20 million casks of maturing Whisky. That’s four for every person living there. Nuts!
Blended Whiskies are the result of years of craftsmanship and dedication. A master blender does not simply wake up one day with a profound ability to create a cohesive and enjoyable liquid. From nosing the liquid to working out quantities of each different grain and malt to go into the blend, a master blender can take years, if not decades, to train.
Whisky or Whiskey? The spelling differs geographically. In Scotland, Japan, and some other parts of the world, distilleries usually spell it Whisky; in Ireland and the USA, they spell it Whiskey.
Beer and malt Whisky seem to have quite a bit in common. Both drinks begin with malted barley, which deliver the enzymes and sugars needed for fermentation when steeped in hot water. The two go their separate ways at the wash stage, where they're fermented or aged to become the adult beverages you know and love.
Single malt stands for around 10% of the Scotch market. This is a malt containing only one grain, legally required to be barley in Scotland, and made at a single distillery.
A blended Scotch is a combination of different malts from different distilleries. It is typically made from grain Whisky but does include malt Whisky to give it a more complex body.
