For centuries, Inchaffray Abbey was a distinguished seat of worship and learning. Sitting proudly above the undulating streams and rivers of Perthshire, St Columba himself was said to have been among the many pilgrims to the ‘island of the smooth water’ or 'innis abh reidh' as it was known in Gaelic.
Built more than 800 years ago by Gilbert, the third Earl of Strathearn, this imposing 13th century landmark became home to generations of Scottish nobility, drawn to the fertile lands and pure waters around which a thriving rural community soon grew.
As historians sadly note, only a “ragged wall and arched chamber” remain of what was once one of the largest abbeys in Scotland, yet the history of Inchaffray lives on in the single malt that now proudly bears its name.
Aged in quarter-casks for a full flavour, our whisky’s unique journey results in a warmly welcoming dram whose perfection is matched only by its pureness. Swirling with seductive sweetness and intertwined with alluring notes of chocolate, nuts and dried fruit, every sip carries a whisper of the centuries of tradition that helped shape its unique character.
Today, Inchaffray whisky is carefully crafted in small batches at our traditional farm distillery, just a stone’s throw from the former Augustinian abbey.
To make it, we only use barley grown in our own fields, keeping alive a centuries-old whisky-making tradition of using produce from the same farm where it is harvested.
As well as ensuring quality, this unique nod to the past ensures an important part of Scottish farming and whisky history lives on; a true single farm malt whisky, with every drop shaped by us, from grain to glass.
