ISG has secured a £5 million contract to expand facilities at a distillery in the Inner Hebrides.

The firm will undertake phase one of a multi-million pound project to build a new Coultorsay maturation warehouse complex at the Bruichladdich Distillery on the Isle of Islay.

Six bonded warehouses are to be built on the site, as well as a filing store, disgorging unit and external cask storage.

Phase one involved developing the first of the new warehouses, including a single-storey, steel frame structure roughly 21,000 sq ft in size.

The first will also create new road infrastructure and introduce mains services across the site.

Preparatory ground works will also be undertaken to allow the construction of five additional maturation warehouses, ranging in size from 21,000 – 32,000 sq ft.

Andy McLinden, ISG's Scotland regional MD, said: "Bruichladdich Distillery is an important addition to our growing portfolio of customers operating within the luxury drinks sector. We continue to secure repeat opportunities with the world's leading premium drinks businesses, delivering projects valued in excess of £50 million in recent years."

The new Coultorsay maturation warehouse complex will be built at the award-winning distillery, which was founded in 1881.
