    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! 🥃

    Yet another fabulous video. Last time I passed the site was two years ago when there was little more than a sign telling the world that the distillery was coming soon. To see it now, it’s quite amazing at how much has been crammed into those 24 months. The time-lapse shot showing the cloud shadows roll across the landscape made me want to head over there right now! Fortunately, I’ll be visiting Ardnahoe in July - and I really can’t wait. Thanks for the video, Roy. Perfect.

As you know, I had a chance to stop by Ardnahoe a couple of times during my recent Islay visit and I was quite impressed with what I saw and heard. The Laing family seems very committed to producing some fine Islay Whisky. Cheers !

    Thank you Roy for sharing your time at Ardnahoe, and at the beginning you were wondering why they did not bring everyone to the distillery first, I surmise that they wanted to tell their story to make a personal connection with their customers. Hunter Lang looks to have built something to last and add to the heritage of Islay. Cheers on a spectacular video on one of the bright stars in the Scotch world!

    Brilliant well done Roy, a friend and I visited Ardnahoe on the 29th August this year, it was one of only three newly reopened for visitors after the first Covid lockdown. We had what was almost a private tour, only four others with the group. Lovely everything, high quality and customer centric specialists, I had to later change a shirt I purchased and nothing was too much trouble. Can't wait to buy a bottle or more in two years time. Your work and efforts on Utube are fantastic, other than Ralfy you are my small whisky tasting group and my favourite. Keep up the good work, regards JH

    Awesome vid, Roy! Sorry it took so long to get to this, but catching up to the leading edge is hard to do after being absent from watching for two weeks for the most part... I was right there stopping at that loch on the way back from Bunnahabhain and unfortunately there was no time to visit Ardnahoe (and I believe it was still closed to visitors) as on that same afternoon the tour that I was on was going to squeeze in Kilchoman. The next time I visit Islay, I will go on my own because now I know what I want to see... I will have a hard time waiting seven or eight (or maybe ten or eleven years because new things take some time to get here) to try some mature Ardnahoe whisky... Hopefully, I will get to visit Islay again before their whisky gets here! Slainte Mhath!

    Amazing report, Roy, well done ! And the image quality is awesome...The distillery location & still room are awesome too I have to say...
    One thing you might not have noticed though I think, and this is because you're not French (lol), it's that you had in your press visiting group the most impressive & talented whisky writer from France (but living in Islay for almost a decade) = Martine Nouet ! (also an expert in whisky & food pairing) -it's the blonde woman with short hair, a black jacket & orange scarf, Roy-and a worldwide whisky expert for sure. Besides, glad you have tasted the first liquid efforts from the distillery & told us there were some encouraging feelings for the future. Slainthe, Roy & thanks for sharing !

    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.

    It's interesting watching the Laing brothers and what they're doing with their parts of their father's legacy. Stewart has set up Ardnahore distillery on Islay whereas Fred has bought Strathearn distillery and is building a new distillery in Glasgow.

      Thank you - shame about the quality of the interview, it was an ad hoc offer that I jumped at the chance to do. All the questions I asked were sprung. It was a great indication of self confidence in what they've achieved.

      Aqvavitae No shame at all. We don’t expect, nor want you to be a journalist. Just someone who willingly spends time sharing whisky knowledge and info with us, and we are grateful. And I thought he made some interesting points on the whisky market and where it’s going.

    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!

    Worm tubs give less copper contact than shell and tubes. It’s an interesting distillery for sure, I love the intentional contradictions at the distillery! But Ardbeg is the dream distillery!
