Ardnamurchan Distillery’s wee summer pest is back – and this time, it’s going global. Following a sell-out UK debut in 2024, The Midgie returned at the end of May with a worldwide distribution of 16,500 bottles.
Distilled in 2017, 2018 and 2019, The Midgie is a lively blend of peated and unpeated spirit matured in Bourbon barrels and Port casks. Bottled at 48% ABV, it offers a balanced bite with sweet, smoky, savoury and floral notes – lingering longer than a summer evening on the West Highland coast.
Retailing at £55, this single malt captures Ardnamurchan’s trademark style with a playful twist. Each bottle features a QR code linking to detailed cask information and background on the dram’s creation – and its infamous namesake.
Managing Director Alex Bruce says,`’ “The Midgie is spreading its wings – fruity, fresh, with a signature maritime profile and just the right amount of Highland bite.” Consider yourself warned – The Midgie is out.`’
