Production method
Produced as a Blended Scotch: blending of whiskies (including peated malts typical of Islay and malts from other regions) distilled in copper pot stills; individual expressions undergo cask maturation and subsequent blending to achieve the desired profile.
Distillation
Distillation in copper pot stills; many expressions indicate double distillation for the malt components (where noted on product sheets).
Ageing
Maturation in casks; some expressions are matured or finished in ex-bourbon and sherry casks, depending on the label.
Producer history Islay Mist
The Islay Mist brand was created on Islay in the 1920s, with a history tied to the use of malts from Laphroaig to achieve balanced peated blends. The brand was acquired by MacDuff International in 1992 and, following corporate reorganization/integration, is now part of the InchDairnie Whisky group (operational agreement/merger between InchDairnie and MacDuff). Over the years the range has expanded with several expressions featuring different maturities and finishes.
Production philosophy
