History Ardnamurchan Distillery opened in July 2014 and sits in the middle of the Ardnamurchan peninsula in the small village of Glenbeg. The peninsula is a remote destination in the western Highlands and is reached first by a small ferry and then by a narrow, winding road. The distillery was designed to resemble a distillery and to fit in with the surrounding buildings.
