"Operating within buildings that date to 1785 beside the River Teith, this Highland site has modernized for sustainability—converting from oil to gas and earning organic certification while using the fast-flowing river to generate power. Under Julieann Fernandez’s oversight as master blender it has expanded into more approachable, everyday expressions, including a Highland single malt finished in bourbon and new Kentucky oak casks and soft-filtered for easy sipping, plus a series of limited editions and experimental cask projects. Fernandez has driven these innovations while emphasizing mentorship and recruitment of women into the whisky sector." - Jenny Adams
