Whisky-making is a serious business, but there's always room for fun too...
Based in the rural Western Highlands, Ardnamurchan thought long and hard about which animals best represent the abundant, spectacular wildlife which surrounds the distillery. After much consideration, and in perfect timing for this time of year, we are pleased to present the Ardnamurchan 'Midgie'.
The whisky itself is no joke, with a complex, multi-faceted recipe combining peated (60%) and unpeated spirit (40%), and whiskies matured in bourbon, sherry, sauternes and madeira casks.
Bottled at 48%, this is a bright, layered dram, perfect for enjoying in the summer as you seek refuge from the hordes of insects!
