Distillery in the landscape.

Here are the lads who actually did the work on cleaning and lacquering the stills at Ardgowan. #SingleMalt #Scotch #Whisky #çopperart

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! #ArdgowanDistillery #DroneShot

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. #StillLife #CopperBeauty #DistilleryPride #SingleMalt #BehindTheScenes

Great to get the Ardgowan Distillery Company Limited Operations team on video this week. They are nothing if not excited! Welcome to Ardgowan Distillery Company Limited guys. #newteam #singlemalt #newdistillery #scotch

Bluesky!

A milestone moment at Ardgowan Distillery—our first malted barley delivery has arrived! 🌾🥃 Years of planning, investment, and dedication have led to this day as we transition from construction to whisky production. #ArdgowanDistillery #MaltDelivery #WhiskyMaking

A seamless 360° #video orbit captured in a single, unedited #drone flight! The smooth, continuous movement really highlights the impressive scale and architectural details of our project. The ☀️ did shine which helped. I did speed up the video in a few places.

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.

🌔 Distillery at night 🌖 The journey to build this distillery has been filled with challenges and triumphs, but seeing it now, nearly complete in the bright moonlight, makes it very worthwhile.

We've been shortlisted for the NFRC, 2025 UK Roofing Awards. Thanks to our talented partners: Spitzbart and Partners Hescott Engineering, Kalzip, Fowler McKenzie (who championed our submission) Muir Group, Blyth and Blyth Engineers, and Hypostyle Architects

On our project, we're facing those inevitable challenging days where despite everyone's dedication and hard work, progress feels frustratingly slow. But this is the reality of ambitious projects. Here is @Laura Davies with a video update on our progress. #Whisky #SingleMalt #NewDistillery

Ardgowan Distillery Company Limited - Roof Appreciation Society! In case you don't know - I love the Ardgowan Distillery Company Limited roof! #Construction #NewDistillery #SingleMalt #Roof #Love

LEtting off #Steam. Soon we'll be transforming water, malted barley, and yeast into liquid gold through the magic of heat, and the skill of our Distillery Manager Laura Davies. Here is Stephen Caughey with a video update.

The sun is still shining here at Ardgowan! ☀️ We're delighted to be laying down casks in our warehouse, marking another milestone in our journey. Now, onto the sampling stage as we craft this year’s special Clydebuilt releases. 🥃✨ #ArdgowanDistillery #ClydebuiltWhisky

Our new #Clydebuilt whisky being delivered to our warehouse at #ArdgowanDistilery. Everyone on the team was there to help out. #TeamSpirit

After our morning frost, this evening we had a brooding dark storm cloud.

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. #Construction #ProjectManagement #NewDistillery #SingleMalt #ArdgowanDistillery

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" #NewDistillery #SingleMalt #Rugby

🥃 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. #ScottishWhisky #WhiskyDistillery #NewDistillery

We are delighted to welcome Elliot Rogerson as part of the team at Ardgowan. Welcome Elliot - do great things! #NewDistillery #SingleMalt #ScotchWhisky #Team #ArdgowanDistillery

🌞 Our Distillery Manager Laura Davies soaking in the first sunshine of 2025 as we hit major construction milestones. All in progress - completing the pipework and cladding installations, wiring and calibrating all instrumentation systems, and putting the finishing touches on our mash tun.

We just have to get this project operational - no pressure! #NewDistillery #SingleMalt #ScotchWhisky #ProjectManagement #Commissioning #ArdgowanDistillery

Our Production Manager, Claire Stewart visited the site - she is excited. Always so positive, we love Claire! #NewDistillery #ScotchWhisky

Thank you @Whisky Magazine for featuring our copper stills.

🌅 A crisp dawn at Ardgowan Distillery, where the mercury hovers around 0°C. Standing here at our site, watching the sky lighten as we await the sun's first rays to peek over the hillside. #ScottishWhisky #Distillery #CraftsmanshipInAction #MorningViews #Ardgowan #WhiskyMaking #Scotland

We are waiting to get that "iconic" night time photo with the distillery building. The moon, the aurora borealis or a star trail. However nature does not always cooperate - so instead here is the distillery at night. #NewDistillery #SingleMalt #ScotchWhisky

At Ardgowan Distillery Company Limited the core construction is 95% complete, our team is now tackling the systems - power, water, heating and equipment commissioning. This final 20% presents the greatest challenges, Here is Stephen Caughey with an update.

Yes - our site is closed today. Storm Éowyn is doing its thing. Stay safe everyone. Yesterday a picture from Crow Cottage back garden - just letting us know despite the terrible weather spring is on the way. #NewDistillery #SingleMalt #ScotchWhisky #ArdgowanDistillery #SnowDrops #Spring

One of our biggest and best decisions from 2024 was bringing on the brilliant Laura Davies as our Distillery Manager. Her enthusiasm is infectious. #NewDistillery #SingleMalt #ScotchWhisky #ProjectManagement #TeamAppreciation #ConstructionInnovation #ArdgowanDistillery

An update from @Stevie Caughey on the Ardgowan Distillery Company Limited construction project. #NewDistillery #SingleMalt #ScotchWhisky

The roof at Ardgowan Distillery is a triumph of engineering & design. This evening's golden sunset gives it a beautiful new look. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✨ #DistilleryArchitecture #ScotchWhisky #DesignInnovation

🎶Met some bright minds at Briggs Burton's show Rebecca schooled us on keeping emissions low Ben's showing off them Thermo tricks they know While Eleanor and Scott kept the whole thing in flow #whisky #netzero #co2

There are many things we love about our new Ardgowan Distillery but one of our favourite things is the #Roof. Yep we #love it. It consists of two colours - Copper and Bronze from #Kalzip. In different light it changes colour. Amazing. #SingleMalt #ScotchWhisky #newdistillery

On the 4th November our #Copper #Whisky #Stills arrived from McMillan Coppersmiths and were delivered to our site at Bankfoot Farm, Inverkip.
