Ardnamurchan is a small Highland distillery owned by the independent whisky bottlers Adelphi, one of whose co-owners, Donald Houston, is the laird of the Ardnamurchan estate in Western Highlands where the distillery was constructed in 2014. Ardnamurchan has one pair of stills making both peated and unpeated spirit and has a capacity of around half a million litres per annum.
After a series of limited work-in-progress bottlings, Ardnamurchan’s first single malt whisky was released in 2020. The inaugural single malt whisky bottling, Ardnamurchan AD/09.20:01, in common with most subsequent releases, was a combination of the distillery’s peated and unpeated spirit matured in both sherry and bourbon casks, and has been met with general acclaim.
North Star Spirits is an independent whisky bottling company founded in Glasgow in 2016 by AD Rattray alumnus Iain Croucher. North Star quickly established itself as one of the most popular of the recent wave of Scottish independent whisky bottlers thanks to a prolific series of top class whiskies released in eye-catching packaging at sensible prices. North Star Spirits was named Independent Bottler of the Year at the Scottish Whisky Awards in 2020 and 2021.
Besides their excellent single cask and small batch single malt releases, which are bottled without colouring or chill filtration and are usually at cask strength, North Star have also released several outstanding blended malt and blended Scotch whiskies alongside occasional bottlings of rum, gin, bourbon and Pedro Ximenez fortified wine.
