I had the pleasure of visiting Ardnamurchan Distillery, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Nestled in one of the most remote and beautiful parts of the Scottish Highlands, the setting alone is worth the journey — dramatic scenery, pristine air, and a true sense of peace.

The tour itself was well organized and included a tasting, which we really enjoyed. However, it would have been nice to also have a dedicated bar area where visitors could sample additional whiskies, especially distillery exclusives. The shop, although welcoming, was missing a few bottles due to supply issues.
