History


Ian Macleod traces its roots to the whisky brokerage founded in October 1933 by Leonard Russell, Snr. The Russell Brokers firm acquired Ian MacLeod & Co., Ltd. in March 1963 followed in May 1963 by the purchase of Isle of Skye Blended Whisky. In March 1968 the King Robert II line of spirits was acquired.
In May 1981 Ian Macleod, in conjunction with J & G Grant, opened Broxburn Bottlers, Ltd.
In September 1990, Ian Macleod acquired London Hill Gin, a brand that dates back to 1785. In May 1996 Watson's Rums were brought on board and in September 1998 Hedges & Butler Blended Scotch and Wincarnis Tonic Wines were added to the portfolio.
The company officially became Ian MacLeod Distillers with the acquisition of the Glengoyne Distillery in April 2003. Glengoyne along with Langs Blended Whisky were purchased from Highland Distillers. In January 2006 Smokehead Islay Whisky was introduced by the company.
In June 2011, Ian Macleod added another mothballed distillery from Highland Distillesr, Tamdhu Distillery. The brand was re-launched in May 2013 at the Speyside Whisky Festival. In September 2016 Spencerfield Spirits was acquired, bringing Edinburgh Gin, Pig's Nose, Sheep Dip and The Feathery Scotch Whiskies into the fold.
