Situated in a small valley on the ancient historic Ardgowan Estate, near the village of Inverkip on the West Coast of Scotland, is the unique and visually striking Ardgowan Distillery. Officially opened on Friday, 20th June 2025, following eight years of development, planning and construction, it is the first new distillery to open in Inverclyde for over a century. Until now, the last distillery to operate in the region was destroyed in the Greenock Blitz on 7th May 1941.

This historic milestone saw Ardgowan’s first oak cask filled with new make spirit ready for maturation! To be specific, one of Ardgowan’s signature ‘Infinity Casks’: oak casks which have hosted Sherry for three years prior to production commencing and are intended for maturation periods of 18 years or more.

The Ardgowan estate is the site of a natural spring that provides water with exceptional purity and sweetness. It is also close to the sea and the warming effects of the Gulf Stream, all of which make it the perfect place to produce an exceptional Single Malt with distinctive maritime characteristics.
