Guess what? Chivas Brothers, the awesome folks behind Scotch whisky, are planning to build their very first distillery on the beautiful isle of Islay. This is big news because it means Chivas Brothers will be adding an Islay whisky to their already amazing collection of malts and blends. You’ve probably heard of some of their famous brands like The Glenlivet, Royal Salute, Chivas Regal, and Ballantine’s.
But wait, there’s more! Chivas Brothers is also a leader in sustainable Scotch, and they have set a goal to be carbon neutral in distillation by 2026. That’s pretty impressive, right? And get this, the Islay distillery will be carbon neutral right from the start. Talk about commitment!
Once the distillery is up and running, they will be focusing on producing Islay single malt whisky. If you’re a fan of that smoky and peated flavour, you’re in for a treat!
But it’s not just about making great whisky. Chivas Brothers wants to become a part of the Islay community and contribute to the local landscape. They’ve been doing this in Speyside and other areas for years, and now they’re ready to bring their passion to Islay.
Jean-Etienne Gourgues, the big boss at Chivas Brothers, is super excited about this new venture. He says it’s a whole new chapter for the company and a chance to start from scratch. And you know what’s really cool? They want to create a blueprint for carbon neutral distilling. They’re all about shaping the future of whisky in a sustainable way.
So there you have it, folks. Chivas Brothers is embarking on an exciting journey to build their first distillery on Islay. It’s going to be a game-changer for them and for whisky lovers everywhere. Cheers to that!
