InchDairnie partners with LeBlanq

Scottish distillery InchDairnie has teamed up with luxury cycling specialist LeBlanq to become its global whisky partner.

The whisky brand has been described as the ‘perfect partner’ for LeBlanq, due to its commitment to pushing the ‘boundaries’ of flavour, and its use of new technology.

The cycling specialists also offers weekends away to guests, comprising luxury dining, drinking and the opportunity to bike ride alongside ‘legendary’ cyclists.

InchDairnie Distillery managing director Ian Palmer said: “The story behind the time, effort and precision engineering we have put into creating every precious drop of InchDairnie whisky is the kind LeBlanq’s guests are sure to enjoy.

“The pursuit of interesting and refined flavours is what drives us day to day, and this parallel with the chefs of LeBlanq makes this partnership a very natural place for us to be, as we wheel out our first ever whisky from the distillery in April 2023.”

InchDairnie’s partnership will see its inaugural release, RyeLaw, shared with LeBlanq guests over the next two years.

InchDairnie Distillery will host tastings at each of LeBlanq’s joyriding weekends in 2023, offering LeBlanq’s guests the opportunity to be among the first to taste RyeLaw.

Tickets for the joyriding weekends to destinations including Scotland, Rioja, Flanders, Norway, Ireland, Ibiza and Cape Town, are on sale now.

Ashley Palmer-Watts, LeBlanq co-founder and directeur culinaire, added: “InchDairnie reflects LeBlanq’s ethos perfectly and we are delighted to have them on board as a global partner.

“Innovative, luxurious, breaking away from the norm and determined to deliver a delicious taste experience are attributes that could be used to describe both brands, and we know our clients are going to love being amongst the first to taste their first pours.”
