The world loves Scotch whisky. Forty-four bottles are exported every single second – that’s 1.4bn a year.

On this week’s The Factory Next Door, we head to the remote Ardnamurchan peninsula in the Scottish Highlands to learn what it takes to build a distillery.

Number 31 on our list of the greatest products we make in Britain is The Single Malt.

Alex Bruce, Managing Director of the Ardnamurchan Distillery, tells us why he’s not worried about US tariffs, explains why he does worry about dust, and reveals the reason they put the distillery in such a remote location.  

We also see a giant underground bunker, consider whisky Jenga, and learn how the whisky is bringing families back to the area.
