A Day in the Life with Connal Mackenzie, Sales Director | Ardnamurchan Distillery & Adelphi
Join Connal Mackenzie in the world of whisky at Ardnamurchan Distillery as he takes you through a day in his life as Sales Director. Sharing one of the most exciting parts of his role -- selecting delectable single casks to be bottled for partners across the world.
Connal leads the team responsible for monitoring the maturation progression of the nearly 20,000 casks we have in warehouses at the distillery. Keeping a close eye on how the liquid is development month after month, year after year is critical not only to the selection of single casks, but also for the vatting and blending of Ardnamurchan's core expressions and limited releases. Unsurprisingly, this is one of Connal's favourite parts of the job!
Joining him is the ever-reliable Carl (all 6'6" of him!) who helps de-bung the casks for analysis. This video provides a glimpse into the time, passion, and precision required for the Ardnamurchan team to select each and every cask bottled.
Follow along for a behind-the-scenes look at how we bring the best of Ardnamurchan whisky to you!

    Stumbled into the distillery accidentally while on a trip in the Western Highlands, not knowing anything about it. Got a very comprehensive tour by Juliet and a dram of Midgie. Instantly fell in love with the latter, and secured a handful of bottles before going back to the European mainland. AD has a profoundly well-balanced body at the palate, and if, a well incorporated peat. Looking forward to many more years of good quality Scotch whisky.
