Green distillery toasts high demand for spirit
Independent bottler and distiller Adelphi said it had decided to release its Ardnamurchan Spirit 2016 AD due in part to high interest.
Alex Bruce, managing director of Adelphi and the Ardnamurchan Distillery, said: “Prior to a launch we contacted our UK and international agents and distributors to gauge interest and take pre-orders.”

The spirit is the first to be released from Adelphi’s west coast Ardnamurchan Distillery, which opened in 2014, and Bruce said the move “signalled a new phase in the company’s long history”.
