Ardmore Distillery

Major blenders always look to own the facilities that produce their whiskies. When Adam Teacher went to visit Colonel Leith-Hay in Leith Hall, he discovered the site where a distillery could be built.

The site offered access to raw material as barley and peat, plentiful water and train access. So, he built the Ardmore distillery in 1898, providing whisky for his famous blend: Teacher’s Highland Cream

Ardmore is one of the few Highland distilleries to produce peated malts.

Beam Suntory owns the distillery nowadays and although the largest quantity of their 5.5 million liter production is used in blended whiskies ,there are several and very interesting single malt bottlings that come from the distillery
