Skene Scotch Whisky are a progressive whisky house and innovative independent bottler based in Edinburgh. Skene produces beautiful, traditional Scotch whisky for the modern day drinker. The name Skene comes from the area of Aberdeenshire which became infamous throughout Scotland as the route for whisky smugglers in the early 1800s and their clandestine transportation of whisky from the Highlands to the Lowlands. As a result, the name Skene has been inextricably linked with whisky for two centuries and through our whiskies, we continue that proud tradition today.
