DISTILLERIES
Highland Queen
DISTILLERY OVERVIEW
Highland Queen was born in 1893 when Roderick Macdonald founded Macdonald & Muir Ltd.,
and within 10 years of starting his business, he had developed his blends to the stage where
he believed he could successfully enter the production field. This resulted in the acquisition of
the Glenmorangie Distillery in Tain to supply the whisky for the base of his famous Highland
Queen blend.
After much success, the brand was purchased by another family company, and the Highland
Queen Scotch Whisky Company was established at Ednam House on the banks of the Tweed.
As a result, Highland Queen is regaining its rightful place in the Scotch Whisky industry.
DISTILLING PHILOSOPHY
Once an exclusive blend has been achieved, the art of the distillers and blenders must be
safeguarded through the ages to ensure that its identity remains constant forever. Highland
Queen is the result of many lifetimes of experience in distilling and blending fine Scotch
Whiskies. The tradition continues today and as declared on the label, “The result we leave with
confidence to your judgment”.
