TLT has secured a provisional licence for the proposed Ardgowan Distillery & Estate in Inverkip, at a hearing of the Inverclyde Licensing Board on 6 June 2019.

The Ardgowan Distillery & Estate will be a multi-million pound project creating a brand new distillery and wider tourist destination featuring a microbrewery, restaurant facilities, accommodation and wider grounds for outdoor pursuits such as hillwalking and mountain biking.

The new visitor attraction expected to complete in early 2021.

Stephen McGowan, head of licensing (Scotland) at TLT, said: “It was a real pleasure to represent such a fantastic project. It really was an exceptional application and a joy to work with the team at Ardgowan Distillery. The Inverclyde Licensing Board was extremely supportive of the proposal and showed genuine interest in this.”

Jessica Skelton, mission controller at Ardgowan Distillery, said: “Securing the licence is the next key step in our journey and we are grateful to Stephen and the team at TLT for their assistance. We are now focused on developing the site which we are confident will become a leading attraction in the West of Scotland.”
