Duty Free Global Founder Barry Geoghegan commented: “I have been a big admirer of what Colin Matthews (CEO), Luke Maga (MD Travel Retail) and all the team of Loch Lomond have achieved over the last few years in building the Loch Lomond brand into one of the world’s most respected whisky brands.

“As Scotch is the biggest category in global travel retail, we at DFG believe that it is very important to leverage the great reputation of the Loch Lomond Group to ensure that their whiskies are available in the world’s greatest airports, cruise lines and airlines.”

Beyond whisky, Loch Lomond Group’s wider portfolio spans Glen’s Vodka, Ben Lomond Gin and Champagne PIAFF.

He added: “The excellent award-winning whiskies of Glen Scotia from Campbeltown are a real gem that we want all global operators to list and experience in their stores. The core range of Loch Lomond is supported by a clear, focused GTR exclusive, which is a clear indication of how important this channel is to the group. Finally, complimenting these excellent whiskies is the historical and famous little mill distillery offering our operator partners real rare and amazing liquids to tempt their whisky lovers for that special occasion.”

Loch Lomond Group Managing Director Global Travel Retail Luke Maga noted: “Loch Lomond has an amazing depth to its portfolio that plays across numerous categories and price points, which I feel is important for retailers across the channel. We are very excited to partner with DFG. Their support will enable Loch Lomond Group, and our existing partners, to expand the distribution platform, and support growth across the portfolio outside of whisky.”
