In 2016 we were the first distillers to make gin on the Isle of Skye. This is the start of our whisky journey and we will be only the 3rd whisky stills on Skye. We’re currently in the process of expanding our distillery in Portree and we will be starting whisky production in mid-late 2025. We have already started to build our dream, our foundations are laid and equipment has been ordered. It’s an exciting time to be involved at the start of our whisky journey.
We are offering an investment opportunity and to own an Isle of Skye Distillers whisky cask that are released in exclusive and in very small batches. These will be issued in limited editions and each edition will be of only 25 casks.
Our first casks are about buying a little bit of history, these will be highly desired on the market for re-sale to collectors or a re-purchased from us when matured, and you are ready to sell. We truly believe that owning a cask of Isle of Skye Distillers whisky is an investment in your and our future, a chance to create something truly unique, and an opportunity to share your love of Skye with friends and family.
Our first casks numbers 1-25 are now fully sold out. Use the form below or download our brochure to enquire about casks 26-50.
To perfectly complement our Misty Isle Gin, we are calling and branding our Whisky EILEAN A’ CHEÒ which translates in Gaelic to ‘The Island of Mist’ a perfect brand name! We already have it embossed on all of our existing bottles. Our unique bottle design and packaging is being kept under wraps until launch day. There will be no mistaking that this will be a single malt whisky from the Isle of Skye.

DISTILLERY
We’re building our whisky production in two planned phases:
Phase 1 of our whisky production plans will be on our existing distillery site. Our foundations are in, and we start production in late 2025/early 2026. Our whisky will be ready in 3 years’ time from first distillation. The above image of the distillery is our Phase 1 building in Portree.
Phase 2 expansion is into a larger purpose built £6m distillery on the outskirts of Portree, that will encompass a larger capacity distillery, restaurant, visitor experience, staff accommodation and gift shop.
With Isle of Skye Distillers whisky, you’re not only investing in a cask and making a market rate return in due course, but you are supporting a local, independent, family-run business with a deep connection to the community and the land around us. You will help create local employment, nurture local skills, and create something very special and unique for not only Portree, but for the whole island.
Be part of ‘The Spirit of Skye’.
Demand for our early edition casks is anticipated to be very high. Skye is a unique location with an already proven record in whisky production.
