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.

KinGlassie: Peat Use and Restoration
We recognise that whisky relies on natural resources for its production, and that making a peated whisky uses a precious Scottish resource. We do not take this for granted. Extraction has an impact on the environment, so we are taking steps to balance what we use by supporting peatland restoration across Scotland.
A Partnership with Muntons Malt
In this ever-changing landscape of sustainability, we feel we are in safe hands. Much of our carbon footprint is in our cereals, so working directly with both Munton’s and our local Fife farmer at Balgonie Estate, we are working together to reduce this.
Our Longstanding Partnership with Muntons Malt
Our partnership with Muntons has been crucial to our success as a Fife grown, Fife distilled and Fife matured distillery. The relationship we have developed with Balgonie Estates as a result of this, is essential to the ongoing production of our RyeLaw whisky.
InchDairnie Doubles Capacity with Significant Distillery Expansion
As we approach our 10th anniversary next year, we are doubling our production capacity to 4 million litres per year — ushering in a new era of innovation to meet the rising demand for our bold, flavour-led whiskies.
