Bruichladdich Distillery has won the Enterprise 250 Award for Innovation & Design.

The Enterprise 250 awards recognise exceptional achievement by Scotland's best performing smaller companies in areas such as leadership, innovation and focus.

Only top 250 companies owned and headquartered in Scotland with a turnover between £5 and £15m are considered by Scottish Business Insider.


The award, one of seven, was presented to Bruichladdich's Joanne Brown at a ceremony at the Radisson Hotel, Glasgow. In her acceptance speech, she said: "We are of course very chuffed. These are interesting times, we’re a youthful, dynamic company doing it our way, challenging the industry orthodoxy.

"We've come a long way in short time, and are looking forward to a future of exciting new whiskies. We're progressive Hebridean distillers - that's what we do."
