ARDGOWAN Distillery's Clydebuilt Shipwright tipple has won the master medal prize in the Super Premium Blended Malt category of the 2022 Scotch Whisky Masters.

The distillery said: "To be one of only fourteen winners of the prestigious master award in the Scotch whisky category is incredibly exciting for us, as it showcases the result of our commitment to selecting, blending and bottling only the finest whiskies for our valued customers."

The Clydebuilt series was created to allow Ardgowan's master whisky-maker, Max McFarlane, to create a range while they continue work towards building their flagship distillery and visitor centre in Inverkip.
