When we initially lacquered the Ardgowan Distillery Company Limited stills, they displayed a beautiful salmon hue - after our first distillation run, the wash has magically darkened and developed into a lovely copper tone that is just gorgeous.

Is it AI? Is it Photoshop? Nope—just Ardgowan Distillery looking incredible at dusk. 🌅 Captured by our own Martin, this drone footage shows how our building plays with light in the most stunning way. Stay tuned for more over Easter weekend!

Stills are the beating heart of every distillery. Now that ours have been freshly lacquered, we couldn't be more proud of these hand-hammered copper beauties.

I took a pre-dawn hike up Idzholm Hill overlooking Ardgowan Distillery Company Limited. A chilly -2°C morning. The sun's golden rays gradually lighted the distillery and the mist quickly cleared. Our ancestors celebrated this day waiting for the explosion of growth and a promise of a new season.

Distillery Water The rock formations in the Inverclyde region consist primarily of sandstones with limestones and dolomites, plus some mudstone and siltstone. The borehole water is exceptionally clean and sweet, is ideal for producing single malt whisky. Here is Stevie with a video update.

This morning, we had -3°C on site, creating a stunning hoar frost across our building project. When sun crested over the hill, the frost melted, showing another view of our roof structure.

Meeting Rugby Legend John Beattie. I once played second row (admittedly with more enthusiasm than skill), standing next to this former international and legendary Number 8 brought back fond memories of those days. Look out for his "The Whisky Podcast"

🥃 Ardgowan Distillery enjoys a unique position at the crossroads of 3 of Scotland's great whisky regions - where Highland meets Lowland meets Island. Views across the Clyde to the islands create an inspiring backdrop for crafting exceptional spirits.
