Independent whisky distiller, the Loch Lomond Group, has announced a new partnership with Nigab, for the travel retail distribution of its Scotch whisky brands Glen Scotia, Loch Lomond and Littlemill in the Nordics.

 

Sweden-based Nigab is the ‘leading Nordic private supplier’ operating for more than 25 years, assures the Loch Lomond Group.

 

The distiller expects that this partnership will help to make LLG’s Scotch whisky brands ‘even more accessible to consumers’, beyond its strong position in Sweden in particular, and increase their reach across a key region.

 

As reported, the group unveiled its new global travel range at October’s TFWA World Exhibition in Cannes, receiving very positive feedback from global travel retailers.
