Ardnamurchan distillery is a Scotch whisky distillery on the Ardnamurchan peninsula of Lochaber in the Highlands, Scotland.[1][2] The distillery is considered one of the remotest distilleries in Scotland and takes its name from the peninsula.[1][3][4]
The distillery was built and is owned by Adelphi, an independent bottling company.[1][4]
Plans for the distillery were submitted in 2011 and approved by the local council in April 2012.[5] The construction began in 2013 and the distillery was completed in May 2014.[4]
Ardnamurchan commenced production in 2014.[1][6][3] The first official whisky of the distillery (meeting the 3-year statutory requirements) was released in 2017.[7]
In 2018, local children were given a charitable gift of Ardnamurchan whisky casks as an investment.[8]
As of 2020, the distillery had filled over 10,000 casks.[3]
