Announcing InchDairnie Whisky Ltd
We’re excited to announce that from 1st May 2025, InchDairnie Distillery Ltd and MacDuff International (Scotch Whisky) Ltd will officially merge to form InchDairnie Whisky Ltd.
This strategic move brings together two respected names in Scotch whisky—uniting tradition, innovation, and shared ambition under one identity. The merger will streamline operations, strengthen alignment across teams, and sharpen our focus on delivering exceptional whisky to a global audience.
Founded in 2015 by industry pioneer Ian Palmer, InchDairnie Distillery is known for its innovative approach—blending traditional whisky-making with cutting-edge technology. Since 1992, MacDuff International has grown a strong international presence with brands like Islay Mist and Lauder’s and has been instrumental in the launch of InchDairnie Distillery’s award-winning Scottish Rye Whisky, RyeLaw.
Operating as one company allows us to focus our efforts, communicate more effectively, and unlock new opportunities for growth.
As Graham Glen (Managing Director, Commercial) notes: “Working as one business with one team and one vision sets us up for long-term success. While the MacDuff name will be retired from active use, it remains a proud part of our legacy.” Scott Sneddon (Managing Director, Distilling) adds: “This is more than a name change—it’s a statement of intent. It comes at an exciting time as we prepare to launch our first single malt signature bottling, KinGlassie.”
We look forward to this exciting new chapter as InchDairnie Whisky Ltd—a modern, ambitious Scotch whisky company built on heritage, innovation, and collaboration.
