It’s About Time
Whisky is made from four simple ingredients…fresh spring water, malted barley, yeast and the skill of great whisky makers.
However here at Ardgowan, we believe that there is one other ingredient that is of critical importance in creating the amazing variety and complexity of the world’s greatest whiskies.
An ingredient which enhances the aroma of the whisky, deepens its colour and, above all, perfects its taste.
And that ingredient is time.
We are a group of Scotch Whisky enthusiasts and professionals who feel that many distilleries, often because of pressure from shareholders, are in too much of a rush to get their spirit to market.
That’s why we came together to form Ardgowan Distillery Company. An independent distillery with a mission that is nothing short of crafting one of the world’s truly great whiskies.
We have already raised investment of more than £20m and we have begun construction of our state-of-the art, carbon negative distillery, which will be completed in late 2024.
With Clan Ardgowan, we are building a diverse family of global supporters to join us on the journey. This support ensures that our whisky gets all the time that it needs to become great whisky - in return for doing so, the Clan will enjoy exclusive access to our finest whiskies and a range of other benefits.
Meanwhile under the watchful eye of Master Blender Max McFarlane, we’re laying down Malt Whisky sourced from across Scotland. Curating the casks, only bottling when ready; giving every drop of spirit the time that it takes to make a good whisky great.
