Ardnamurchan Distillery was officially opened on 25th July 2014, to begin the process of production what wil eventually become world class single malt, with the first spirit run-off the stills that year. The very first single malt was bottled in September 2020. Uniquely in the industry, all the power and heat requirements for the distillery come from local renewables, the river that provides the distillery's cooling water has a hydro-electricity generator and the biomass boiler is fuelled by woodchip from local forestry, the over all footprint of the distillery is a light one.
Ardnamurchan Distillery The Midgie (2025)
48% abv
A frenzy of tropical and fresh summer fruits combine with the West Highland maritime profile, adding persistency and bite.
Gammon ham with torched pineapple, prunes dipped in salt. Strawberry jam on a salty cracker, almond oil, coconut macaroon, spearmint. Salt-baked pear, meadowsweet, wildflowers, lemon thyme on the palate. Sultanas, cherrywood embers, cocoa powder, pink peppercorns. A gentle puff of enticing, buoyant smoke at the end. Himalayan pink salt, red currant cordial. A constant mingling of sweet and salty. Dry, lengthy finish.
Distilled and matured with care and a cheeky sense of Highland humour, this year’s Midgie is a lively marriage of peated and unpeated spirit distilled in 2017, 2018 and 2019, matured in a combination of Bourbon barrels and Port casks. Bottled at a robust 48% ABV, it promises a balanced bite – just like its namesake – with sweet, smoky, savoury and summer flower notes that linger longer than a summer evening on the peninsula. This years release brings together 50% ex-American bourbon barrels, 48% Port Barriques and 2% Sherry casks. It’s a split of 75% unpeated spirit and 25% peated.
