History
Ian Macleod Distillers Ltd. has been operational since 1936 when Leonard Russell Sr. started a whisky broking company. It was acquired by the Russell family in 1963 and has stayed family-owned ever since. It houses many a distillery and brand under their roof, ranging from whiskies like Glengoyne, Isle of Skye, King Robert II, Smokehead, and Tamdhu to vodka, gin, and rum. In the world of multi-national mega-companies, they have stayed true to their mantra of preferring quality over quantity.
Shieldaig is a collection of single malt Scotch whiskies. Named for a loch in the Ross and Cromarty area of Scotland, “Shieldaig” is derived from Old Norse and stands for “The Loch of the Herring”. This line of whisky evokes the magical landscapes with misty hills and small islands poking from the dark waters of the loch ― the same area that has attracted many a fisherman, seeking to enjoy its serenity and angling for herring.
Shieldaig Speyside Single Malt is pot-distilled in a single Speyside distillery from malted barley, aged in oak casks and bottled at 80 proof. You can expect notes of vanilla, toffee, honey, and fruit, as well as hints of sea salt. Some spice and peaty smokiness balances the profile. The medium finish contains fruity notes as well as spice and pepper overtones.
