Aerial view of the new Ardnahoe distillery on the north coast of Islay, Scotland.
Ardnahoe is the youngest and ninth distillery on the island of Islay, which is known worldwide as an Eldorado for fans of smoky whiskies. The owner is the young independent bottler Hunter Laing & Co., who has recognized the signs of the times and decided to become a whisky producer in addition to bottling and blending the liquid of other distilleries. Whisky icon Jim McEwan, who had previously led the Bruichladdich Distillery to great success, was recruited as production manager and advisor. The distillery is named after the nearby hole that will ensure the water supply. The location of the distillery on the north east coast of Islam is well chosen. It overlooks the “Sound of Islay” and the “Paps of Jura” from a hill and is geographically located between its established neighbors Caol Ila and Bunnahabhain. Ardnahoe is equipped with a visitor center and café in order to adequately receive the many visitors.
