The opportunity you’ve been waiting for
Plenty of distilleries sell casks in almost unlimited numbers. Benbecula Distillery will sell fewer than 200 a year, and only in each of its first three years. The rest of its new make spirit is reserved for its own future bottlings.
Every cask that does go to a private owner matters. As Head of Private Client, you’ll be the person who places them.
How you’ll make your mark
You’ll execute the business strategy and deliver private client and private cask sales and revenues across all global markets. That means targeting high-net-worth individuals, whisky aficionados and other interested buyers.
You’ll have a proven track record in premium or luxury business development within whisky, wines or spirits, focused on private clients and private casks. You’ll also have evidence of winning new clients and growing long-term commercial relationships.
What’s in it for you
- Salary, bonus and car allowance
- Private benefits
- Remote working from home, with occasional distillery visits
A bit more about Benbecula Distillery
Benbecula Distillery is one of Scotland’s newest scotch malt whisky producers, a contemporary distillery in the Scottish Highlands. An internationally renowned Master Distiller oversees the spirit. Their experience includes Glenmorangie, Ardbeg, Tobermory, Deanston and Bunnahabhain.
A private cask bought directly from the distillery comes with full owner certification and seven years of warehousing and insurance. Owners join the distillery’s community, the Cask Owners Club. Members get free tours for life, a personalised membership box, a new make spirit sample and exclusive bottlings.
Denholm’s take
This is a strong hand to sell with. The spirit has serious credentials, supply is tightly limited and ownership comes with real extras. What the distillery needs now is someone who already knows the buyers who’ll value that.
