About InchDairnie

InchDairnie Distillery pushes the boundaries of flavour through their 3 Ms philosophy: materials, method and maturation. They extract as much flavour as possible through innovative and sustainable means, in their base of Kinglassie, Fife, where industrial Scotland meets agricultural Scotland. Each release will use a unique mashbill, with all cereals sourced exclusively in Scotland, which are then ground into a fine powder using a special hammer mill and matured in a variety of specially-sourced casks – especially fresh American oak.

Their first release, Ryelaw, was made with rye from Easter Ross, the Palmer family home in the north of Scotland.

InchDairnie is one of only two distilleries in Scotland to use a special mash filter - a Meura - that acts like a series of tea bags being squeezed by a balloon, extracting maximum flavour from the mix of grist and water (wort) - resulting in a light, floral, cereal-noted spirit.

InchDairnie has had a commitment to sustainability from the outset. For example, their draff and pot ale co-product is used to supply anaerobic digestion and conversion to methane, bringing energy back in the loop. The digestate from the anaerobic plant is then sprayed onto land for growing cereals, nicely closing the loop.

History

The distillery was founded in 2012 by Ian Palmer. With over 45 years of experience in the whisky world, Ian Palmer has studied old, and imagined new, concepts to challenge conformed thinking on how to make Scotch. He oversaw the construction of a distillery with striking, contemporary design, but with small nods to traditional distillery architectural features.
