We invited local artist Ellis O’Connor to capture the rugged coastline just beyond our distillery on the Sleat Peninsula - a home we’re proud to share with Ellis. The result is the artwork you’ll see featured on our next Legacy Series release: a visual expression of the Sound of Sleat, created before a single drop of whisky was even bottled.

We caught up with Ellis to hear more about her creative process, her relationship with Skye, and the wild beauty of the Sound of Sleat.

Donald Livingstone is our newest distiller, having started in The Stills Room in October 2021 after being a tour guide with us for 2 and a half years.

A man that needs almost no introduction, but gets one anyway, Dr Alan Rutherford OBE is the former production director at Diageo with over 50 years of experience in brewing and distilling, a Master of the Quaich and Past President of the Malt Distillers Association. Few other people could provide more insight into any number of Scotch Whisky related topics, and here, Dr Alan joins us to talk about the history of wooden barrels and the ascension of oak.

Peat Elite member Dr Mike Billett joins us as a guest writer with a muse and subject that you might be familiar with: peat. In a six-part series, Mike will be taking us on a journey into the bogs, looking at the history of peat, its indelible link with Scotch Whisky, and deeper still into the world of phenols. Our journey will veer into the 1970s at a time of great experimentation, with a stopover in Skye, before setting off into the future to see how the use of peat will evolve into the rest of the 21st century.
