At Macaloney’s, we blend centuries-old Scottish distilling techniques with the finest Canadian ingredients and innovative practices. Our small-batch single malts are crafted on beautiful Vancouver Island. Here, we use traditional Forsyth’s copper pot stills, local barley, and pure island water to create exceptional whiskies.
The Art of Distilling Whisky
Our unique approach enhances every drop. For our peated expressions, we meticulously peat-smoke the barley right at our distillery. This process infuses our whiskies with a distinct flavor that sets them apart from the rest.
Here's a short video by Macaloney's Scottish Master Whiskymaker detailing our traditional ‘best practices’ methods.
