A FAMILY-OWNED Elgin whisky specialist is on the hunt for a distillery manager to head its new whisky distillery within the Cairngorms National Park.
Gordon & MacPhail's The Cairn Distillery is being built in Craggan, Grantown, and is due to open in spring next year.
The dream manager job is available for someone with a passion for Scotch whisky and extensive experience in malt whisky production.
The Cairn Distillery will be creating a new single malt and will complement the firm’s existing distillery, Benromach in Forres, which it bought in 1993 and officially reopened in 1998.
The distillery manager will work closely with Gordon & MacPhail’s operations director, Stuart Urquhart, and the wider team, to manage site production operations and represent the new brand in key markets.
Mr Urquhart said: "Everyone at Gordon & MacPhail is excited to be launching The Cairn Distillery next year to bring something new to people who love single malt Scotch whisky across the globe.
"This is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious distillery manager with a passion for single malt Scotch whisky and in-depth knowledge of production to join an internationally renowned and growing family business.
"The distillery manager will have a key role to play in creating a new, high-quality single malt."
The new distillery will include a visitor experience, tasting rooms, retail space and bistro.
