FRANK MCHARDY RETIRES AS DIRECTOR OF PRODUCTION was created by Duffer
Springbank nyheder:
As you may well know, Frank McHardy has recently retired as Director of Production at
Springbank and Glengyle Distilleries after an incredible 50 years in the industry. Frank began his loving relationship with whisky in March 1963 where he was employed at
Invergordon Distillery, sweeping the yard and doing odd manual jobs around the place.
From there his career has taken him to Tamnavulin, Bruichladdich, Bushmills and, of
course, Springbank and Glengyle.
At Springbank, we are delighted and honoured that, in two spells, Frank has spent 26
years with us - more than half his career and we consider ourselves to be very lucky to have had him. During his time in Campbeltown Frank has been a key part of the
renaissance at Springbank and, even more significantly, played a major role in the
rebuilding and opening of the Mitchell's Glengyle Distillery back in 2004, designing the distillery itself and helping to source most of the equipment.
We will all miss seeing Frank’s smiling face every day but know that this is certainly not the end of his involvement within the industry and although he has “retired”, Frank will always be in demand to share his knowledge. This Sunday, he will be flying out to Australia to give his advice on plans to establish a new malt distillery in Perth and will also be sharing his thoughts and giving advice on the opening of a small Single Malt distillery in Israel. Next year he will be returning to Springnbank for the Whisky School (please see next heading and we have also recently introduced the special ‘Frank McHardy Tour’ into our tour options where you get to spend 4 HOURS in the company of the man himself who will share his 50 years experience with you (and also a fair few drams too!)
