AN award-winning Scottish distillery is set to boost sales of its whisky in the United States after clinching a new deal with a major American importer.
Moray Scotch whisky maker GlenAllachie has appointed ImpEx Beverages as its new exclusive US importer in a move aimed at increasing its availability stateside.
The GlenAllachie Distillers Company core range of single malts and MacNair’s Lum Reek blended malt will be distributed into around 20 additional states, including key markets such as Texas and Colorado.
The news follows a sustained period of growth and success since master blender and entrepreneur Billy Walker and his team acquired the Aberlour-based distillery in 2017.
Sam Filmus, president of ImpEx Beverages, said: “We have been following the GlenAllachie for a long time and are thrilled to now be a part of its future success in the US market.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
