Description (Please provide a detailed description of the event in the box below): Emperador Inc., a leading global brandy and whisky conglomerate headquartered in the Philippines through its subsidiary Whyte and Mackay, the world's fifth largest Scotch Whisky producer that owns a compelling single malt portfolio, is expanding its Scotland distillery in response to the growing demand for whisky worldwide.

Whyte and Mackay is expanding its whisky maturation complex at Invergordon Distillery, doubling its footprint from 45.4 hectares to 92 hectares. This will create the space for additional warehouses to be built over the coming decades, eventually housing up to an additional 1.5 million casks of maturing whisky, in support of the long-term growth ambition for Whyte and Mackay, which also enjoys the distinction as the UK's number 1 supplier of Single Malt Whisky.
