Robertson is first distiller on Isle of Ramsay

R&B Distillers has appointed its first distiller for the Isle of Raasay Distillery, due to open in September 2017, with Iain Robertson joining its team.

The search for Raasay’s first distiller commenced in January 2017 and it has received applications from around the globe.

Iain is a recent Honours graduate of the Heriot-Watt Brewing and Distilling school. During his studies, he took a placement at North British grain distillery and worked at Edinburgh’s The Scotch Whisky Experience.

Iain will be relocating to the small island of Raasay to join the team.
