Whisky Scotland awards which saw Susan

 It
is usually a sign that a distillery is
worth visiting when it receives an award
such as this, Susan Colville has just
picked up the Visitor Attraction Manager
of the Year Award at the Whisky Magazine
organised Icons of Whisky Scotland
awards.
Announced in a ceremony held in
Edinburgh’s Surgeon’s Hall, the awards
pay tribute to the expertise that is
poured into every bottle of whisky made
around the world. Only those working in
the industry can nominate an individual
or brand, with the final winners chosen
by a panel of expert judges, kind of
like the players player of the year.
Susan Colville, Brand Home Manager was
recognised for the outstanding
contribution she makes to the many
thousands that visit Benromach
Distillery each year. After receiving
the coveted title of Visitor Attraction
Manager of the Year, an accolade which
Susan previously won in 2015, she will
now go forward to compete for the global
title which will be announced on the
29th March 2019 in London.
Susan Colville said: "I’m overwhelmed to
receive this award again and it is
particularly special to receive this at
the end of our 20th anniversary
celebratory year. 2018 has brought many
highlights, ranging from the launch of
Benromach Cask No 1 which raised money
for charitable causes to hosting the
Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival
opening gala dinner. We’re looking
forward to growing our visitor numbers
further in 2019 and giving every guest
the up-close and personal tour
experience, we’re known for."
Earlier this year, Susan was made a
Keeper of the Quaich, joining the
international and select society which
recognises those who have shown
outstanding commitment to the Scotch
whisky industry.
Benromach’s Keith Cruickshank was highly
commended in the Distillery Manager of
the Year category at the Icons of Whisky
Awards. Benromach Distillery was also
highly commended in the Visitor
Attraction of the Year category in
recognition of the personal experience
the whole team strives to deliver to
visitors every day.
Keith Cruickshank, Benromach’s
Distillery Manager, said: "As our 20th
anniversary year comes to an end, it is
gratifying for the team at Benromach to
be recognised at the Icons of Whisky

by others working in the industry is
particularly special."
