Dr Craig’s experience spans more than 13
years, but more recently he has played a fundamental role in the restoration of
the Brora spirit and overseeing new releases from Port Ellen. His expertise in
nurturing and restoring the rare spirits from two of Diageo’s most magnificent
whiskies has led him to develop an unparalleled knowledge of the distilleries
and their casks.
