Sukhinder Singh’s Worldview

Sukhinder Singh is a legend in the whisky business…he and his brother founded The Whisky Exchange and turned it into one of the leading whisky retailers in the world. They now run Elixir Distillers, which is reviving Tormore as a single malt and building Islay’s Portintruan Distillery, which is on track to open later this year. Sukhinder is also known as one of the world’s leading whisky collectors, with a collection of thousands of bottles. We’ll get an update from him on the company’s distillery projects, as well as his view of the whisky business, on this week’s WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, Gallo has completed its purchase of Kentucky’s Four Roses Distillery, and U.S. spirits exports fell by nearly four percent last year.
