FERGUS SIMPSON – INTERNATIONAL BRAND AMBASSADOR

Although Fergus is originally from Aberdeen and has had a lifelong interest in whisky, he only entered the trade later in life. It was only on returning to his native Scotland after many years in the south of England and abroad that he started in the whisky business.

He went to work as a tour guide at William Grant and Sons, Dufftown Visitor Centre, and in two spells, over eight years became a senior guide, leading VIP tours and trade visits to The Glenfiddich, Balvenie and Kininvie Distilleries. During this time he gained GCD technical qualifications from The Institute of Brewing and Distilling.

Between the two spells working in Dufftown, he was Manager of Duncan Taylor’s Retail store in Huntly for nearly three years, and also was on the tasting/selection panel for Duncan Taylor. This involved monitoring maturation of whiskies in the cask, and checking samples to plan the bottling schedule.

On retiring from William Grant, he was tempted back to Duncan Taylor, and early in 2017 became their first Whisky Ambassador.

Since then, he has travelled extensively all over the globe attending whisky shows and conducting masterclasses.
