Tiree Whisky Company Ltd was formed to preserve and promote the island’s whisky heritage, with a view to re-establishing the connection the island once had with the Scotch Whisky Industry.

​Tyree Gin is the second product released by Tiree Whisky Company Ltd and follows on from the outstanding success of The Cairnsmuir: a limited edition 19-Year-Old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky, named after an iron-screw steamer that ran aground off Hough on the Isle of Tiree in 1885 while carrying a 100-ton cargo of spirits and beer.

Tyree was a historical form of spelling for the island while the modern spelling of Tiree first appeared on a map of Scotland by John & Frederic Tallis in 1851.
