The Ian Macleod & Company Ltd story begins a little before 1934. Smokehead "head smoked" was created in 2006 in order to win over a younger, more trendy clientele. With the creation of a complex single malt, where there is no prohibition, fruits like spices are never far from the peat. For a number of years we have always had the same question: where does Whiskey come from? Of lagavulin?.
