Port of Leith Distillery Appoints Vaibhav Sood as Head of Whisky
Port of Leith Distillery has announced that Vaibhav Sood has been appointed as its Head of Whisky, marking a significant milestone for the £13m nine-story distillery, which is due to open later this year.
Vaibhav, who previously served as Operations Manager at The Lakes Distillery, had the following to say about his new role:
“Joining the iconic Scotch whisky industry was always a dream of mine, and immersing myself in a distillation process as unique as Port of Leith is already proving to be an incredible experience.
“Alongside getting to work with such a dedicated, passionate and forward thinking team, I’m honoured to be leading in all aspects of whisky making as we work towards bringing our new world class single malt to people across the globe.”
Once operational, Port of Leith Distillery will produce up to one million bottles of whisky per year and offer tours, tastings, and a top floor mezzanine bar with panoramic views of Leith and Edinburgh.
