At CVH Spirits, we are proud to celebrate a significant moment in the world of Scotch whisky. Our Master Blender, Julieann Fernandez-Thomson, has been formally inducted as a Keeper of the Quaich, one of the highest honours in the Scotch whisky industry.
The Keeper of the Quaich title is awarded to individuals who have shown outstanding commitment to the Scotch whisky sector. Julieann’s induction at the Autumn Banquet reflects not only her extraordinary talent and creativity, but also her enduring impact on whisky blending and innovation across her career.
“It is such an honour to have been inducted as a Keeper of the Quaich and be recognised amongst so many inspiring figures in the world of whisky,” said Julieann. “I am extremely proud of my career, however nothing would be possible without the support of an incredible team who inspire me every single day. I feel so lucky to call this work and I’m excited to continue pushing the boundaries of what we can achieve together in this wonderful industry.”
Julieann’s passion and vision are at the heart of CVH Spirits’ commitment to excellence. She has played a leading role in shaping some of our most celebrated blended Scotch whiskies and maintaining the distinctive character of our iconic single malt distilleries. Her work exemplifies the craftsmanship, heritage, and innovation that define our premium spirits portfolio.
As a business dedicated to crafting exceptional spirits and stewarding the legacy of Scotch whisky for future generations, we are immensely proud to see one of our own recognised on such a prestigious platform.
Julieann’s induction reinforces CVH Spirits’ position at the forefront of the industry—where tradition meets innovation, and where exceptional people create unforgettable whiskies.
