Master Blender Colin Scott Celebrates 40 years In The Whisky Industry

December 17, 2013 by Gary Leave a Comment

Colin Scott

World-renowned Master Blender Colin Scott is celebrating 40 years in the whisky industry.

Highlights of his glittering career include the creation of luxury whiskies Chivas Regal 18 Year Old and Chivas Regal 25 Year Old, as well as the growth of the Royal Salute range.

Colin in the early 1980’s

Colin said: “As Master Blenders we are responsible for safeguarding the integrity of all our brands, and ensuring their consistent quality and taste experience year after year.

Another part of the job is looking at the new spirit made today with a view to the future, securing the right stock for the next generation of Master Blenders, thus ensuring a seamless continuity.

For Master Blenders consistent high quality is paramount in our line of work, and this is something you must never compromise on.”

Among Colin’s career milestones are the creation of Chivas Regal 18 Year Old in 1997, and 10 years later in 2007 when he added the Original Legend Chivas Regal 25 Year Old.

Colin added: “Back when I started our primary concerns were Chivas Regal 12 Year Old and Royal Salute 21 Year Old two iconic products.

Now we have two great families.

To have been involved in the development and growth of their fame has been very exciting. This is especially true for Chivas Regal 18 Year Old, which is today global No.1 in its category, and I feel especially honoured that every bottle carries my Gold Signature.”

In recognition of his contribution to the Scotch whisky industry, Colin was appointed a Master of the Quaich in 2008, having previously been inducted as a Keeper of the Quaich Scotland’s most prestigious Scotch whisky Society in 1998.

The Glenlivet Guardians’ Chapter: The Whisky Tasting Results!

The Glenlivet Guardians’ Chapter: The Whisky Tasting Results!

Thousands of votes across 37 countries have been cast by whisky lovers to select a new limited edition from The Glenlivet, with its Exotic expression revealed today as the winner, with 39% of the vote.

The announcement follows a global campaign by The Glenlivet, during which the brand reached out to whisky fans around the world giving them the chance to select the next The Glenlivet expression for the first time ever.

The winning expression will be named “The Guardians’ Chapter” in recognition of the significant part the distillery’s fan club The Guardians of The Glenlivet has made to the voting.

The new whisky which is non-chill filtered, 48.7% proof and described as a rich, indulgent single malt will be bottled in limited quantities and distributed around the world from March 2014.

The three expressions which were selected to spark debate over single malt style preferences were named according to their taste profile, with the options being Classic, Exotic and Revival.

Nikki Burgess, Global Brand Director for The Glenlivet, adds: “Deciding on a new Scotch whisky expression is normally a privilege reserved for a very select handful of experts, revered for their knowledge and experience.

With The Glenlivet Guardians’ Chapter, we wanted to recognise the passion and expertise of our Guardians in an original and inspiring way by inviting them to write the next chapter in The Glenlivet’s history.”
