After a successful debut last year, Ardnamurchan’s The Midgie whisky is back for summer 2025, and it’s going global. The team at the Highland distillery have announced their delight at the global release of its mischievous summer dram.
Following its sell-out UK debut in 2024, 16,500 bottles of The Midgie whisky will begin buzzing their way out of their warehouses and into whisky glasses around the world.
Distilled and matured with care and a cheeky sense of Highland humour, this year’s Midgie is a lively marriage of peated and unpeated spirit distilled in 2017, 2018 and 2019, matured in a combination of Bourbon barrels and Port casks.
Bottled at a robust 48% ABV, it promises a balanced bite – just like its namesake – with sweet, smoky, savoury and summer flower notes that linger longer than a summer evening on the peninsula.
The Midgie 2025 is expected to fly off UK shelves at an RRP of £55 and will be landing in markets across the world from June.
True to Ardnamurchan style, each bottle comes equipped with a QR code on the back label, letting you dive deep into the whisky’s origins, cask breakdown, and everything you didn’t know you needed to know about one of nature’s smallest but most persistent nuisances.
“Launching for its second season, the Ardnamurchan Midgie Single Malt is spreading its wings further than ever before.
"A frenzy of tropical and fresh summer fruits combine with our West Highland maritime profile, adding persistence and bite,” said Alex Bruce, managing director of Adelphi Distillery ltd.
“Whether you’re sitting by a loch in Scotland or sweating it out in a summer city halfway around the world, you’re officially on notice: The Midgie is coming. And it’s delicious.”
Ardnamurchan celebrated 10 years in operation at the end of 2024 with a special anniversary bottling of a 10 year old whisky.
The business also teamed up with luxury watch manufacturer Marloe to release the Glenbeg Blue set, which included a special single cask bottling presented in a case alongside a special edition watch.
