He saw an opportunity to do so by building his own distillery, and so he set about acquiring land and constructing the necessary buildings. Currently, Ardmore is part of the Japanese Beam Suntory group.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe distillery uses locally sourced barley, which is malted on-site in the traditional way.
