Whisky giant Chivas Brothers has revealed plans to build a new distillery on the isle of Islay. It will be the first time the Scotch maker, which is responsible for single malts such as Aberlour and The Glenlivet, has had a presence on the island. An application has been submitted to Argyll and Bute Council for a site at Gartbreck Farm in Bowmore with a decision expected by late March. Islay is already one of Scotland's major whisky attractions with 10 distilleries including Laphroaig, Ardbeg and Lagavulin. The oldest distillery on the island is Bowmore, which began operating in 1779 and is currently owned by the makers of American bourbon brand Jim Beam. Chivas Brothers are partnering with Islay Estates on the new distillery, which said it would work closely with the community so there was minimal impact to residents. Planning officials said the whisky makers hoped to make a "significant positive contribution" to Islay.

How To Start Your Own Whisky Distillery In Five Steps

How To Start Your Own Whisky Distillery In Five Steps

Thankyou Rosemary Gallagher for your excellent piece. Producing a Scottish Rye Whisky as our first brand, RyeLaw, was a clear statement of intent. InchDairnie Distillery is all about flavour, something that I think is often lost when people talk about Scotch Whisky. Now that whisky is produced globally we need to get back to the basics, flavour and provenance. RyeLaw is a Scottish Rye Whisky which does not fit into the current legal definition and for that reason we have to put Grain Whisky on the front of the bottle. This is not very helpful when a Rye Whisky has a different flavour profile to a traditional Grain Whisky. This achieves the exact opposite of why the whisky categories were first developed. They were developed to better inform the consumer, we are now confusing the customer. InchDairnie is a Fife distillery producing a Fife Whisky from Fife cereals. InchDairnie will always be Fife and never just Lowland, another challenge for us.

The Glenturret has started the transition to move away from using peated malt in its production in 2025 and will later remove peated expressions from its core range from 2026.

So much have happened in such a short time.

👏 👏 Creating a Fife Whisky Region now would provide a clear identity, marketing advantage, and a sense of pride for local producers and consumers. While the logistical and bureaucratic hurdles are real, the long-term benefits for Fife's whisky-making community and its global reputation outweigh the costs. As the saying goes, the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago; the second-best time is now. The same holds true for establishing Fife as a whisky region 👏 This version draws more attention to the passion and heritage of the distilleries while emphasizing the unique opportunity to build a distinct identity for Fife now, rather than waiting. The goal is to inspire a sense of pride and urgency in moving forward with the creation of a Fife Whisky Region. https://lnkd.in/ghhfefNA #whisky #fifewhisky #fife
