At the Poniel blending and maturation center in southeast Glasgow, Bacardi has introduced three advanced aging warehouses with a new, more efficient design that boosts storage capacity. In Speyside, the Aultmore distillery recently completed an upgrade to enhance efficiency and safety, incorporating new technology to reduce both energy and water usage. The enhancements include a new tun room, still house, boiler house, and a closed-loop cooling tower.
"Our investment in Aultmore and Macduff distilleries, along with the Poniel blending and maturation center, marks an important step in our ambitious plans for premium and ultra-premium whiskies," said Keith Hogg, Bacardi's vice president of supply chain for Europe.
