Islay's Ardnahoe - My Dream Distillery?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 апр 2019
- Islay has a new distillery. Ardnahoe.
Conceived and executed by Hunter Laing, an independent bottler with family ties to the island, from first announcement it's been an exciting project. Whisky enthusiasts have hoped since it's inception that a "craft" style presentation and attitude towards production could be realised, as naturally as possible. During my following of the distillery's progress I often found myself considering - this could actually be my dream distillery.
I couldn't pass up the invitation to join the press day on the eve of the official opening. Could it be all it promised?
This video was made with help from the team at Ardnahoe, but it remains a personal project and is fully my idea and concept from start to finish. I'm grateful for the use of some of the video and image assets from the team. The majority is my own.

One word...Netflix Can't wait until they hire you or start a show based on what you're doing. We could totally watch this and more. Simply amazing...
Roy, you’ve really outdone yourself this time. Fantastic video, utterly fantastic! Super quality from start to finish. Any TV producer would be more than proud of that. I raise my glass to you sir, for an excellent job.🥃
Hard to believe this is five years old, and now we have our first official bottling to try. Amazing looking place.
My wife and I drove by in April of 2018, on our way to Bunnahabhain, while the distillery was still under construction. It certainly is in an amazingly, stunningly beautiful location! We thought about stopping by Ardnahoe's store at Islay House, but we got caught up at the neighboring brewery and ran out of time before our tour of Bruichladdich. Once home I looked into purchasing a cask from Ardnahoe, but the thing that ultimately made me decide against it was that they won't promise that your cask will stay on Islay while it ages. With the prices they were asking, that was the deal breaker for me.
You whiskey tubers are putting out better quality videos then Hollywood
I think your'e one of the better vloggers out there and the one's on Islay are real magic! But the current trend for many vloggers is to do these long winded 1-3 hr streams. I personally don't have the time or attention span for those,so I don't watch them. I hope you and others do a 15-30 min vlog from time to time so I can keep watching! Keep up the excellent work!
Roy, great feature on Ardnahoe was lucky enough to tour it in 2021. Fantastic distillery on a wonderful island filled with lovely people.
The Stillman at Ardnahoe have the best office in the entire world 😍
5 years later with their The Inaugural Release out for sale i must say they seems to have met our high expectations. It is a wonderful dram!
Ardnahoe will have 5-year-old whisky in Nov, 2023. I know the man said 8 years, but I wonder if they’ll release some sooner.
This is just an amazing video. Can't wait to taste this glorious liquid being distilled at Ardnahoe. Thanks for this Roy!
Amazing video Roy! A fantastic one to watch while I enjoy my first few drams from the inaugural release. It’s an incredible whisky and extremely exciting to see what they’ll bring us in the future.
Thanks for sharing your time and experience at Ardnahoe. Awesome video. 🤙
SO well done Roy! Thank you very much for this fantastic video! I’ve had the absolute pleasure to visit the Ardnahoe Distillery while it was being built with Jim McEwan, and just back in April right after they officially opened. This is a must visit Distillery when visiting Islay! The people are fantastic, the views are spectacular! Now we just have to be patient for the Spirits! Slàinte! 🥃
A fantastic video Roy! Thanks for taking us on your Ardnahoe journey. Looking forward to their 1st releases. I just can’t wait to head back to Islay!
Great job Roy. I hope the future allows you more opportunities like this. You deserve it👍
Hey Roy very cool video, absolutely love these types of videos and getting some great behind the scenes. Every whiskey lover should enjoy this, Thank you for sharing! Cheers!
Another top quality story Roy, so impressed and proud of the journey you are on. Keep it up!
I’m looking forward to taste their first matured whisky... so, I’ll be waiting, 8,9,10 years... Thanks Roy!
