Ardnamurchan’s The Midgie ‘spreads its wings’
Adelphi-owned Ardnamurchan Distillery has reprised its single malt whisky known as The Midgie, which is now available worldwide for the first time.
Following The Midgie’s sold out debut last year in the UK, the Acharacle-based distillery is bringing back its ‘buzzing’ single malt worldwide.
The whisky is named after a ‘mischievous little pest’ that infests the West Highlands in Scotland every summer, and is said to have been distilled and matured ‘with care and a cheeky sense of Highland humour’.
The 2025 edition is a marriage of peated and unpeated spirits distilled in 2017, 2018 and 2019, and matured in a combination of Bourbon barrels and Port casks.
Offered at 48% ABV, the whisky is said to display sweet, smoky, savoury, and summer flower notes.
Alex Bruce, managing director of Adelphi Distillery, said: “Launching for its second season, the Ardnamurchan The Midgie single malt is spreading its wings further than ever before. A frenzy of tropical and fresh summer fruits combine with our West Highland maritime profile, adding persistency and bite.”
The Midgie is limited to 16,500 bottles globally. It will be available from June, and has a recommended retail price of £55 (US$74).
Each bottle has a QR code on the back label, letting consumers know the whisky’s origins and cask breakdown.
Ardnamurchan Distillery was founded in 2014 by independent bottler Adelphi. The distillery launched its first single malt in 2020.
