A top Glasgow-based whisky firm has confirmed that they have submitted a final planning application to Argyll & Bute council to build a new single malt whisky distillery at the former RAF Machrihanish airbase in Campbeltown.
Independent whisky bottler and blender Brave New Spirits say the distillery, which will be named Witchburn, will be located between Campbeltown Airport and Machrihanish Village and will use traditional distilling craftsmanship to produce unpeated, lightly peated and heavily peated malts.
They added that it will be a Net Zero carbon production distillery powered by 100 per cent green renewable energy sources and the latest in heat and energy recovery systems, explaining that they believe it will become one of the most environmentally friendly distilleries in Scotland.
