IMPORTANT TRAVEL INFORMATION FOR VISITORS
The single-track road which takes you to Ardnahoe will be undergoing substantial resurfacing works from 4th September, for approximately 10 days.
This will lead to disruption for visitors to the distillery. Unfortunately this is unavoidable due to the nature of the local landscape and of the road itself.
We will not be able to offer distillery tours during this period, and we have contacted affected customers accordingly. The visitor centre shop and coffee bar will remain open for business, and we look forward to welcoming those visitors who are able to come during those limited periods when the traffic management team permits vehicles to pass on the road.
Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience. You can contact us via the messaging function here on the website, alternatively you can speak to us on +44 1496 840777.

The resurfacing works are scheduled to begin on Weds 4th September. We hope that the work will be completed within two weeks, but this timescale is subject to change.
- The road will be closed from approximately 8.00am until 5.00pm each day. Work may extend slightly later into the evening in case of favourable conditions on any particular day.

- Work will begin from the A846 junction, on the road section to Persabus. Please note that once this particular section is completed, to Persabus, then the road closure station will move up the road so that Persabus can remain open for business as usual.
- The road will be reopened at the end of each working day, to permit traffic to pass over sections which have not yet been fully resurfaced.
- Work will continue through the weekend of 7th-8th September.
- Emergency vehicles will be able to pass at all times as may be required.

13th September 2024 ~ Schedule update
Works are progressing approximately to schedule, with a break due to bad weather during w/c Sept 9th. The road to Persabus is passable over the current intermediate road surface.
The crew will be restarting works on Monday Sept 16th.
During the works to-date, some ancilliary issues have emerged with one of the underlying drains just south of Torrabus Farmhouse, which will be addressed by Argyll & Bute Council whilst the main resurfacing work continues.
This supplementary repair work will take place on Weds 18th Sept, on which day the road at Torrabus will be completely physically closed from approximately 8.30am to 6.00pm to allow a culvert to be replaced.
Please note that all times & schedules are subject to weather conditions, and day-by-day detail may change at short notice.
