About Ardnahoe Distillery
The distillery, located on the northeast coast of Islay just north of Port Askaig, lies between Loch Ardnahoe and the Sound of Islay. Its name, translating to “Height of the Hollow” in Gaelic, reflects its scenic location.
Officially opening in April 2019, it became the first new whisky distillery on Islay in 15 years, inaugurated by Lord Robertson of Port Ellen. The distillery was established with a £12 million investment from Hunter Laing & Company, a Scottish family-owned whisky business, and spans four acres. It is managed by Stewart Hunter Laing and his sons, Scott and Andrew. By November 2019, the distillery had welcomed 24,000 visitors and earned a five-star rating from VisitScotland.

Ardnahoe is a renowned distillery located in Scotland with a rich heritage in producing fine whiskies. The rarity and quality of their products makes them desirable to collectors and enthusiasts, only increasing their value over time.
Whisky typically gains value as it ages and matures in the cask. The longer it remains in the cask, the more it has the potential to develop complexity and depth of flavors. We offer cask purchase programs that allow you to select the type of cask and aging duration, providing you with control over the maturation process.
Buying a cask allows you to own a unique piece of Bladnoch’s Kirkcowan Spirit production and a part of Bladnoch’s history. As the availability of aged and limited-edition whiskies decreases over time, the scarcity of these bottles can drive up their value.
Whisky has experienced growing popularity worldwide, particularly with the rise of collectors and investors seeking alternative assets. If the demand for premium Scotch whisky remains strong or continues to increase, it could positively impact the investment potential of your Kirkcowan Spirit (Bladnoch) cask. Recently we have seen the price of a standard bottle of Bladnoch rise from £40 to £80.
