PERNOD Ricard has unveiled plans to ramp up its Speyside whisky production, including the reopening of the mothballed Braeval distillery, after toasting an 18 per cent rise in first-half profits.
The group, which ranks as Scotland’s second-biggest whisky producer – behind Diageo – following the 2006 acquisition of Allied Domecq, said the expansion plans had been driven by soaring demand for its premium whisky brands.
Plans for the expansion of the Glenlivet distillery are to be submitted to Moray Council. Pernod hopes to install a new mash tun, six new stills and eight new “washbacks” to accommodate increased production.
