Distiller of the Year 2007


Wednesday, 20 February 2008 POSTED BY Mark Reynier IN News

We are pleased, and just a tad proud, to have been awarded Distiller of the Year in the 2007 Drammie Awards.

The title includes all areas of the whisky industry and not just distilling, but blending and independent bottling too.

The Scotch Blog is the ‘pleasingly irreverent’ US-based, whisky website edited by whisky fan – and laudably independent - Kevin Erskine. This award is particularly satisfying to us, as it is won by votes cast by the public and the trade alike – and not merely bestowed on ‘Muggins’s turn’ or influenced by advertising revenue as most similar awards are.

    In an award ceremony last night in New York, we were awarded the title of Pioneer of the Year.

    Jim and Andrew were there to collect the award from the Malt Advocate’s editor John Hansell. The title, according to the citation, reflects our enterprising distillation programme, dynamic maturation policy and innovative bottling concepts.

    Officially recognised as Progressive Hebridean Distillers. Now that’s nice.
