Ian Macleod Distillers has just launched a new five figure advertising campaign for its Six Isles Island Blended Malt Scotch Whisky.
Developed by Robertson Darby Advertising, the new campaign, titled ‘Six Island Malts in one glass’ has been created to reinforce The Six Isles unique position as the only blended malt scotch whisky in the world that combines whiskies from all six of the whisky producing Scottish islands.
The campaign debuted in the current issue of Whisky Magazine and will be rolled out in a number of consumer titles in both the UK and across Europe.
Iain Weir, Director of Marketing for Ian Macleod Distillers commented: “The new campaign is really about simplifying our message to consumers. The focus is on the quality content of the product and reinforcing The Six Isles USP as the only blended malt that has whiskies from all six whisky producing islands”.
The Six Isles is widely available both in the UK and worldwide as well as Travel Retail outlets, retailing RRP £19.99.
This summer, Isle of Jura has released a heavily peated special limited edition commemorative bottling for the Crinan Classic Boat Festival 2007.
I personally love the peated touch and according to our polls many more of you do. So, this beauty that comes from cask number 24 should light up on your face. The 1999 Heavily Peated is Distilled on the 18th of January the same year. It was re-racked from American White Oak in September 2004 into an Oloroso Vina 2a Sherry butt from Gonzalez Byass. It’s original strength is 63.5% and then bottled at 52.1%.
Tasting note according to Juras website:
COLOUR – Copper gold with honeyed highlights.
NOSE – A phenolic explosion like an Autumn bonfire coupled with a seductive tang of damp salt and peat drawn from Small Isles Bay.
PALATE – Reduce with soft still water. Not for the faint hearted. Feel the full force of sharp winds and driving rain in your face as this complex malt rolls over the palate to reveal its character of smoke, peat, tar rope and hints of lemon gorse.

Check out the Scottish winners from Whisky Magazine Icons of Whisky Awards 2007 with the interesting Distiller of the Year, Arran, to start with. It’s always nice to see that not just the old and establish distillers wins competitions and awards all the time, don’t you think?! Both Michael Jackson and Dave Broom have also had nice things to say about their Arran 1996 Raw Cask, Blackadder, so they must be doing something right, besides getting awards.
