Following the commencement of construction at the Distillery site at Bankfoot, Inverkip, we are thrilled to announce that we will be documenting the process of the build in an exclusive series with Whisky Magazine.

We are delighted to announce that we have broken ground on phase one of our £20 million ‘cathedral of whisky’, Inverclyde’s first zero-carbon whisky distillery.

Inverkeithing based Muir construction will  deliver the first build phase which is expected to last 12 months and will see the completion of the distillery’s main production elements, including core groundworks, steelwork, and distillation equipment, enabling us to begin producing its own spirit from 2024. 

Inverclyde’s first zero-carbon whisky distillery, Ardgowan Distillery, has appointed Inverkeithing based Muir Construction to begin the first phase of its £20 million “cathedral of whisky” 

The £7m contract is expected to last 12 months and will see the completion of the distillery’s main production elements, enabling Ardgowan to begin producing its own spirit from 2024. 

We are delighted to announce that construction has commenced at our site in Inverkip.

After years of hard work and planning, we're finally seeing our dreams to build something special for the community become a reality.

Gourock-based commercial property specialists, Bowman Rebecchi and Rebecchi Architectural have been formally appointed by the Ardgowan Distillery to help them realise a new custom gin plant at the distillery’s Inverkip site.

Last year, Ardgowan Distillery announced plans for a new bespoke centre for gin distilling – to be built in advance of their whisky distillery – following a loan of up to £5 million from the UK drinks specialists Distil plc.

The Ardgowan Distillery has unveiled ambitious new plans for their landmark distillery and visitor centre which will commence construction next year.

The stunning new design uses low environmental impact composite cladding, timber and steel materials to create a light-filled modern Nordic long hall.

The building is designed to provide an ergonomic energy efficient distillery and to maximise the visitor experience and will incorporate a glass-walled ‘sky platform’ with views of the Clyde.

Ardgowan Distillery has announced work will begin this year on their new distillery which is being built on the Ardgowan Estate near Inverkip, 30 miles west of Glasgow.

The company today confirmed a £8.4 million equity investment into the business. £7.2m of the new equity comes from Austrian investor Roland Grain and the balance from new and existing shareholders.

The Ardgowan Distillery has secured a provisional premises licence at a hearing of the Inverclyde Licensing Board on 6 June 2019.
