The firm has also highlighted its commercial as well as critical success, reporting a 107 per cent increase in pre-tax profits

Karen Walker, marketing manager at Inver House Distillers, commented: "The industry is going from strength to strength and we are absolutely dedicated to supporting the growth of Scotch whisky through innovation and fresh thinking.

Established in 1964, Inver House Distillers produces gins, vodkas and liqueurs, in addition to single malt, blended and blended malt Scotch whiskies.
