Ardnahoe distillery is a Scotch whisky distillery on Islay, in Scotland.
On the northeastern coast of Islay, Ardnahoe Distillery is positioned just north of Port Askaig, between the renowned Caol Ila and Bunnahabhain distilleries.
The Sound of Islay, known as Caol Ìle in Gaelic, represents the narrow strait separating Islay and Jura.
Both the distillery and the adjacent lake derive their names from Gaelic, translating to the "Height of the Hollow."
