All of those apart from MacAllan and arran and Penderyn are new entrants (and even arran and Penderyn are fairly new), hence selling off new make casks to regain some capital.
Apart from Mcnean and mark littler which I know nothing of, none of them sell to blenders, all distill with the intention of stock going to their own brand single malt.
Middleton have only just started selling their own single pot still but have been trading off stock bought from one of the big Irish distillers for quite a few years.
Ardnahoe is one of the new Islay distilleries up by caol ila and lagg is the other new distillery on arran (think also owned by arran). Both will make peated new make, hence the price bump as peat is fashionable currently.
