Scotlandโ€™s Wild West Coast Meets The Cellars

Join us at The Cellars for a rare evening with Ardnamurchan Distillery, one of Scotlandโ€™s most exciting young producers. Tucked away on Scotlandโ€™s rugged west coast, Ardnamurchan crafts whiskies defined by sea air, sustainability, and bold experimentation.

Weโ€™re honored to welcome ๐‰๐ž๐ง๐ง๐ฒ ๐Š๐š๐ซ๐ฅ๐ฌ๐จ๐ง, ๐Œ๐š๐ซ๐ค๐ž๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐  & ๐‚๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ง๐ข๐œ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ ๐Œ๐š๐ง๐š๐ ๐ž๐ซ ๐š๐ญ ๐€๐ซ๐๐ง๐š๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ซ๐œ๐ก๐š๐ง, who will guide us through a lineup that showcases the distilleryโ€™s adventurous spirit. At Ardnamurchan, Jenny is deeply involved in shaping how the distillery tells its story, from the rugged, remote character of the Ardnamurchan peninsula, to the sustainable distilling practices, and creative cask finishing experiments. She is passionate about education, knowledge sharing, and the intersection of tradition and innovation in Scotch Whisky.

The whisky itself reflects this rugged setting. Ardnamurchan releases combine peated and unpeated malt, matured in both bourbon and sherry casks, producing whiskies that balance maritime salt and smoke with honey, citrus, and orchard fruit. In just a decade, theyโ€™ve earned a cult following for innovation and quality.

Indri DRU, bottled at 57.2% ABV, is a cask strength expression from Indri, where selected ex-Bourbon Barrels are handpicked and married together by our master blender to offer you an experience that will awaken your senses.

In Sanskrit, โ€˜Druโ€™ means wood, tree, or a vessel made of wood. In ancient Indian mythology, Dru was a vessel in which โ€˜somaโ€™ (a drink) was collected and offered to the Gods.

Indri Single Malt Indian whisky is distilled and matured in the subtropical climate of Northern India. Angels here are indeed greedy as we lose 10 to 12% every year due to evaporation. Yet, this accelerated evaporation helps mature the whisky much faster and gives it a totally different dimension.

This is a rare chance to meet Annabel Thomas, the woman who left her London career to follow a dream: to build a whisky distillery from scratch on Scotlandโ€™s rugged West Coast. With no blueprint except her vision, she spent four years raising funds, laying bricks, and installing stills until Ncโ€™nean was born in 2017.

Every sip of Ncโ€™nean carries Annabelโ€™s fingerprint: elegant, experimental, and deeply respectful of nature. This is whisky that honors tradition but refuses to be defined by it.

This is your chance to sip, savor, and chat directly with the woman changing the future of Scotch whisky.

They use a yeast derived from a well-known French sparkling wine production, one that is rarely used in Scotch whisky. It brings citrusy, biscuity notes โ€“ flavors of lemon sorbet, fresh chamomile, and all butter shortbread.

Annabel is excited to meet whisky lovers at the Mansion and share her stories of inspiration and the development of Ncโ€™nean while leading us on a fun and informative tasting of these amazing expressions. There are no refunds due to limited seating.
