Our wash still features a hot condenser system designed to capture and recycle heat, converting it back into steam for the distillation process. This modern, low-carbon thermodynamic efficiency ensures we remain committed to sustainability while honouring centuries of Scotch whisky craftsmanship.

With the building phase now complete, the distillery’s interior is coming to life. Inside, 5km of process pipework weaves through the facility, and nearly 75% of our 6km of electrical cabling is in place. When operational, the distillery will boast 517 valves, 20 pumps, 292 temperature, pressure, and flow instruments, 8 heat exchangers, and 1,164 flanges—a testament to the engineering expertise behind this ambitious project.

Adding to the progress, our mash tun—delivered in two sections—has been meticulously welded together by skilled metalworkers. Now standing proudly, it’s ready to play its key role in the whisky-making process.

As we move ever closer to production, milestones like these highlight the dedication and craftsmanship shaping Ardgowan Distillery. Stay tuned for more updates as we bring our vision to life!
