Ardmore whisky distillery
Ardmore remains among the more traditional and uncelebrated distilleries, it’s first official bottling was only 2007 and the site lacks a visitor centre - tours are by arrangement only.
While Ardmore and it’s unpeated sister Ardlair are generally available the majority of the 5.5mla production remains blend centric, primarily but not exclusively for Teachers.
Ardmore was the second to last distillery to shift from coal to steam fired stills, and while onsite maltings ceased in 1976 when the floor maltings were removed to enable further expansion the distillery is one of only a handful to still maintain its own cooperage.
