Our Philosophy...
We:
- are four free-spirited friends - Simon, Mark, Jim
and Andrew.
- are progressive Hebridean Distillers
- are proudly non-conformist, fiercely independent
- produce the most natural & enjoyable whisky
possible
- are not members of the SWA
 We believe:
- in Natural Whisky
- in authenticity, straight-down-the-line
integrity
- in telling it the way it is - no corporate
propoganda
- that whisky is king - not marketing hype
- that whisky is for drinking not just
collecting
We do not believe:
- in the 'tartan and bagpipes' approach to
selling whisky
- in faux-heritage, gimmicks, 'Monarch of the Glen' bxxxxxxt
- in trying to appear small, hand-crafted and artisanal – we are!
- in cooking or pressurizing our
whisky for a wood ‘finish’ effect
 The distillery :
-
is privately owned & run
- is an independent Islay
Distillery
-
is a Scottish company
-
has 100% privately financed (1/3 from Islay itself) no companies
- has
the youngest Distillery owning management ever
-
is staffed by Islay people
- is entirely managed,
financed, and operated from the island
Our whisky is not:
- chill-filtered - to enhance
the depth of flavours and augment the bouquet
- coloured - no caramel is
added to sweeten or darken the whisky
- homogenised - each
bottling comes from carefully selected casks
- standardised - each
bottling is created differently
 Our whisky is:
- from barrel to bottle,
produced on Islay - naturally
- bottled at 46% vol - or cask
strength
- Islay born and bred -
matured by the Atlantic Ocean
- bottled with Islay spring
water - the first time ever for an Islay Single Malt
- uniquely bottled on Islay
at the distillery
