Ardgowan Distillery Company Limited has officially opened its doors, marking a major milestone for Scottish whisky and sustainable distilling.
BRIGGS played a leading role in the design and engineering of the distillery, delivering the full project as a turnkey solution from concept through to commissioning.
Our scope of work included the supply and integration of specialist process equipment:
- BRIGGS Full Distillery Lauter Tun (Mash Tun)
- Ziemann Holvrieka’s stainless steel washbacks
- McMillan Coppersmiths’ centrepiece copper stills and spirit safe
- BRIGGS ThermoJet – our Thermal Vapour Recompression (TVR) system for energy recovery
Our team was responsible for integrating everything from raw materials to finished spirit, supervising the mechanical and electrical installation (M&E), and automation and control systems, through to handover and commissioning.
This project showcases the strength of collaboration within our wider group, with Ziemann Holvrieka supplying key fermentation equipment. And McMillan delivering traditional Scottish copperwork to exacting standards.
Designed with future expansion and sustainability in mind, the distillery will initially produce 0.8 MLPA of malt whisky spirit.
We’ll be launching our dedicated ThermoJet (TVR) page soon, in the meantime, find out more about ThermoDrive, our Mechanical Vapour Recompression (MVR) solution here.
