Frank McHardy’s journey started at Invergordon Distillery in 1963 as a stillman overseeing the running of column stills to produce Grain spirit. As a young lad, his focus was on simply making enough cash to fund his hobbies. Little did he know this would be the beginning of his illustrious affair with whisky. He has come full cycle from watching the installation of some new copper pot stills at Invergordon Distillery in 1965, to purchasing the very same stills when he was tasked with rebuilding Glengyle Distillery in the early 2000s. These stills were used to produce single malt at Invergordon Distillery under the name ‘Ben Wyvis’, and are now used to produce single malt at Glengyle Distillery under the name ‘Kilkerran’.

After three years at Invergordon, Frank moved to Tamnavulin Distillery and his passion for the golden liquid blossomed with each step he took into the world of whisky, building up both his passion and expertise from time spent active at several different distilleries across Scotland and Ireland including Bruichladdich, Springbank, and Bushmills as a Master Distiller.

It all started at Invergordon in the 60s, and the rest is history – this special bottling is a testament to kickstarting Frank’s tumultuous 60-year whisky escapade. This liquid must have passed through his watchful eyes in 1965 as a stillman, and now, he invites you to enjoy this precious limited edition, and to celebrate life.
