STATEMENT:
This is a momentous day for our business. On behalf of myself and the whole team, I am delighted to welcome International Beverage as the new owner of the Cardrona Distillery.
We have been carefully looking for a quality home for Cardrona to support our international growth for some time. But it had to be the right home, run by people who share our values and commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
We found that partner in International Beverage, a world-class group of spirits businesses who own some of the whisky distilleries we most admire including Pulteney, Speyburn, Knockdhu and Balblair.
So Cardrona joins a family of whisky greats and our inclusion in this group forms an excellent foundation for the next chapter in our story. It has been a 12-year journey to reach this point, and we are so proud of the great whisky foundation laid in the Cardrona Valley.
In joining the International Beverage business, the day-to-day activities at Cardrona remain unchanged. With myself continuing as Managing Director and the global network of our new owners, we couldn’t be more excited for the future of Cardrona Distillery.
