H.R.H Prince Charles was on hand to unveil The Glenlivet‘s latest distillery expansion which cost a total of $10 million.
Improvements to the Speyside distillery include a new mash tun, eight traditional Oregon pine washbacks, and six copper stills which will increase production capacity by 75%.
Christian Porta, Chivas Brothers Chairman and CEO, said: “Today’s opening represents the latest milestone in a period of sustained investment and strong growth in The Glenlivet.”
“Since 2002, we have taken the brand from No 3 to No 2 globally. We are already leading from the front in the US, the world’s most valuable Scotch whisky market and No1 single malt market, and we are now well-positioned to replicate this success internationally.”
