The Company was founded in 1976 by Sir Iain Noble of Eilean Iarmain as part of a development project to create employment in the south of Skye, as so many young people were then leaving. The business has grown steadily, its reputation spread by word of mouth. The company is situated on the small private harbour of Eilean Iarmain looking over the water towards the mainland hills of Scotland. As one of the few remaining family businesses in the Scotch whisky industry, they have to compete with the Scottish whisky industry giants. Their main markets are Scotland and England, France, Holland, Italy and Canada. And are also represented in Switzerland, Japan, Denmark, Sweden and Russia.
