Whether you’re a long-time Ardnamurchan fan or new to the distillery, this is a rare chance to taste how Ardnamurchan has evolved over the years, in person.
Also included in the price is your very own Ardnamurchan Glencairn glass and lanyard.

ARDNAMURCHAN ♥️ SHERRY (Tasting event)
Join Graeme & Connie for a guided tasting exploring the influence of sherry cask maturation on Ardnamurchan whisky. Sample different sherry-matured expressions side by side, featuring classic cask styles such as Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez, but also some of the more unusual sherry styles, to be discovered on the day.
Along the way, you’ll discover the art of sherry production, learn about the role of flor and explore how different cask types, textures and maturation styles shape the whisky’s flavour, aroma and character.

ARDNAMURCHAN: CASKS NEVER BEFORE OPENED! (Tasting event)
For our final tasting of our 2026 Inaugurual Ardnamurchan Open Day, someone thought it’d be a good idea to give Connal and Carl the keys to the warehouse and go wild.
And so that’s what they did.
Expect several wild, weird, wacky, and delicious cask samples from vessels rarely if ever opened, for staff or otherwise! Perhaps different barley varietals, unusual casks, or both. It should be a fun one!
Also included in the price is your very own Ardnamurchan Glencairn glass and lanyard.

Upper Warehouse No. 1 Whisky Experience
Step inside our upper warehouse and discover a different side of whisky maturation. Unlike our other warehouses, which are all traditional dunnage floor warehouses, this space creates a noticeably different environment, with a distinct temperature profile that influences how our whisky develops over time.
During this small-group guided experience, you’ll sample three different whiskies whilst our experienced team members explains the maturation process and how our different warehouse conditions shape flavour, character and complexity.
Upper warehouse no. 1 is also where many of our limited releases complete their final stage of maturation, so what rare and exciting casks might be quietly curating here right now?
Also included in the price is your very own Ardnamurchan Glencairn glass and lanyard.
Times: 10.30, 12.30 and 14.30
Ticket price: £20 per person (plus booking fee)
Duration: 30 minutes
