Ardgowan distillery begins offering public tours in Scotland

INVERKIP, SCOTLAND - Ardgowan Distillery has launched public tours of its new single malt whisky facility in Inverkip, Scotland, according to a statement released by Distil plc (AIM:DIS) on Wednesday.

The distillery, which began operations in June 2025, is offering 90-minute guided experiences twice daily from Tuesday to Saturday. Tours include a walkthrough of the production facility and warehouse, followed by a tasting session featuring three malt whiskies from the distillery’s collection.

Barbara Campbell, an industry veteran with family ties to whisky production spanning five generations, has been appointed as Visitor Centre Manager to oversee the tourism operations. Campbell previously served as Visitor Centre Manager at Glen Ord Distillery and as a Diageo Brand Ambassador.

The distillery’s on-site shop is now open Tuesday through Saturday, offering the "Clydebuilt" whisky range, including a Distillery Exclusive Clydebuilt 2012 Pedro Ximénez Hogshead Single Cask Single Malt priced at £85.

Distil plc, which owns brands including RedLeg Spiced Rum and Blackwoods Gin, invested £3 million in the Ardgowan Distillery project in 2021 through a convertible loan. This investment represents a potential 10.5% stake in Ardgowan’s fully diluted equity and currently generates £195,000 in annual cashflow for Distil through a 6.5% interest rate.

The distillery has emphasized sustainability in its operations and features what it describes as unique elements in its production processes, according to the press release statement.
