Ardnahoe Distillery was established in 2016 on a rugged hillside near Port Askaig in the comparatively remote and impossibly beautiful northeast corner of Islay. Until Port Ellen revived distilling operations this summer, it was the youngest distillery on the island. Seemingly from its inception, it was a buzzy operation due in no small part to the fact that Hunter Laing, the owner and family-run independent bottler, managed to entice famed Master Distiller Jim McEwan out of retirement to help g
