Ronan Beirne, Global Brand Marketing

launched International Scotch Day and
its huge success proved what we at
Diageo already knew – the world loves
Scotch. This year is going to be even
bigger, with celebrations taking place
globally, from Scotch Whisky tastings to
opening the doors to Diageo’s archive in
Scotland, free passes to distillery
visitor centres and celebrity events in
cities from Manila to Johannesburg".
International Scotch Day is an
opportunity to celebrate the world’s
favourite whisky and to shine a
spotlight on the entire Scotch Whisky
category. The popularity of Scotch has
been built through its integrity,
quality and authenticity, and no other
spirit can offer as diverse a range of
tastes, textures and flavours.
Ewan Gunn, Global Scotch Whisky Master
from Diageo commented: "Scotch is made
all the way across Scotland - from the
romantic west coast, through the whisky
heartland of Speyside, to the vibrant
urban central belt of Scotland, and
though it is made here, it belongs to
the world and is truly the world’s
favourite whisky. Hosting International
Scotch Day for a second year shows how
confident we are about the popularity of
this truly international drink."
2018 celebrity ambassadors and global
locations will be revealed in February.
