“Securing the licence is the next key step in our journey and we are grateful to Stephen and the team at TLT for their assistance. We are now focused on developing the site which we are confident will become a leading attraction in the west of Scotland.”

The licence was secured for the distillery by TLT solicitors. Stephen McGowan, head of licensing (Scotland) at TLT, said:

“It was a real pleasure to represent such a fantastic project. It really was an exceptional application and a joy to work with the team at Ardgowan Distillery. The Inverclyde Licensing Board was extremely supportive of the proposal and showed genuine interest in this.”
