Emperador Inc., the liquor manufacturing business of tycoon Andrew Tan, said Wednesday it is expanding its Scotland distillery to meet growing demand for whisky worldwide.
Emperador said the expansion will be undertaken by its subsidiary Whyte and Mackay.
The company said it is doubling the size of its whisky maturation complex in its Invergordon distillery from 45.4 hectares to 92 hectares to create space for up to an additional 1.5 million casks of maturing whisky in the coming decades.
“This expansion is part of Emperador’s continuing efforts to strengthen our production in response to growing demands for single malt whisky in various markets worldwide,” said Winston Co, president of Emperador. “We want to address the scarcity of aged liquids globally, and this will allow us to strengthen and support a core segment of our business,” he added.
Emperador, a unit of Alliance Global, is listed on the Philippine Stock Exchange and on the Singapore stock market.
