Stewart Buchanan.
A TOBERMORY man who brought two Scotch distilleries back to life has been given one of the highest accolades in Scotch whisky by being named a ‘Keeper of the Quaich’.
Stewart Buchanan, brother of the wildlife cameraman Gordon Buchanan, is known for resurrecting Ben Riach distillery in 2004. Stewart was so dedicated that he slept on the floor of Ben Riach’s maltings while he worked to strip down and rebuild every piece of equipment to prepare it for production.
