Ardnamurchan The Midgie 48% Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70cl

Default Title InStock

Whisky-making is a serious business, but Ardnamurchan does like to embrace the fun side, too.

Based in the rural Western Highlands as they are, they thought it was only right to celebrate the abundant, spectacular wildlife surrounding their distillery. Having considered the animals that best represent the peninsula, they could come up with no better candidate than the midge, especially at this time of year!

The whisky itself is no joke, though. It has a complex, multi-faceted recipe combining 60% peated and 40% unpeated spirit and whiskies matured in bourbon, sherry, Sauternes, and Madeira casks. Bottled at 48%, this is a bright, layered dram, perfect for enjoying in the summer as you seek refuge from the hordes of insects!

Ardnamurchan's "The Midgie" has been crafted in collaboration with Smidge to honour Scotland’s most infamous creature: the Highland Midge.

UK Exclusive release of only 6200 bottles.

No added colour and non-chill filtered.

Ardnamurchan Distillery

The Ardnamurchan Distillery opened in July 2014 to begin the process of producing what has certainly become world-class single malts.

Ardnamurchan Managing Director Alex Bruce said, “When we filled the first spirit into casks, the concept of being able to disgorge those casks into bottles seemed very distant. However, we have had an incredible journey, building our 100% local team, filling the warehouses with over 10,000 casks and preparing national and international distribution. We relied on the unique local maturation climate to do the rest, and are really excited by the quality and consistency that has been reached.”

Uniquely in the whisky industry, all the power and heat requirements for the distillery come from local renewables. The river that provides the distillery's cooling water has a hydro-electricity generator and the biomass boiler is fuelled by woodchip from local forestry.
