INDEPENDENT Scotch whisky distiller Loch Lomond Group has agreed a five-year partnership with The Open, golf’s original championship, for its Loch Lomond Whiskies brand.

The partnership with The R&A includes support of the Ricoh Women’s British Open and will showcase the full range of Loch Lomond whiskies. It also means the distiller’s range of single malts will become ‘The Spirit of The Open’.

Known as ‘The One’, The Open is the most international of the major championships with qualifying events across five continents.

Colin Matthews, CEO of Loch Lomond Group, said: “We are extremely proud to have agreed this prestigious partnership and association with The R&A for The Open and the Ricoh Women’s British Open. 

“Our partnership is the perfect means for Loch Lomond Whiskies to use the fabulous platforms of both championships to grow further, both in the UK and internationally, and it also demonstrates our strong commitment and ambition to becoming a premium global brand.”
