Ardgowan
distillery expands their Clydebuilt
range of independent bottling's with the
launch of Clydebuilt Riveter, a Scotch
single grain whisky.
Ardgowan Distillery Company Limited has
unveiled a whisky that pays tribute to
the vital work undertaken by riveters in
the shipbuilding yards of the Clyde. As
the distillery's own construction
progresses, Ardgowan has ventured into
the realm of independent bottling,
introducing the acclaimed Clydebuilt
series of whiskies, which draws
inspiration from the illustrious
maritime heritage of the Clyde
shipyards.
The latest addition to this collection,
Clydebuilt Riveter, marks a departure
from previous blended expressions,
representing the inaugural single grain
whisky in the Clydebuilt lineup.
Carefully curated, Clydebuilt Riveter
showcases a selection of fifteen
extraordinary casks meticulously
procured from a renowned Lowland
distillery. Each cask has been
meticulously nurtured in top-tier
bourbon barrels to achieve a truly
exceptional character. Guided by the
discerning palate of Ardgowan's esteemed
Master Whisky Maker, the visionary Max
McFarlane, the flavour profile of
Clydebuilt Riveter is a testament to his
expertise and artistry.
Max McFarlane commented: "Clydebuilt
Riveter has allowed me to further
explore the depth of flavour found in
Lowland distilleries resulting in a
liquid that treats the senses to new
delights and is sure to be another
winner for Clydebuilt.
"Riveter pours like liquid gold, with a
nose that opens on dark fruit compote
before moving into furniture polish,
lemon curd, figs, leather and old books.
The palate is dry and moreish, with
butterscotch, five spice, mint choc chip
and brown sugar. A lingering, lovely,
and very smooth finish follows, drying
down slowly."
Riveter stands as a triumphant homage to
the extraordinary craftsmanship and
unwavering commitment exhibited by the
workers of the Clyde Shipyards. Their
unparalleled skill and unmatched
efficiency birthed the legendary term
"Clydebuilt," an enduring symbol of
impeccably constructed vessels.
The esteemed Clydebuilt releases have
been embraced by the industry, receiving
esteemed accolades. Clydebuilt Sailmaker
was honoured with the highly coveted
Master Medal at the Scotch Whisky
Masters 2022, while Clydebuilt
Shipwright earned a distinguished silver
medal at the IWSC Spirits Awards 2022.
Bottled at a robust 50% ABV and priced
at £52.50, Clydebuilt Riveter will be
available from specialist online whisky
shops such as
The Whisky Exchange,
The Whisky Shop,
Master of Malt
and
