David
Blackmore named Scotch Whisky Ambassador
of the Year by Whisky Magazine.
 Whisky Magazine has selected
Glenmorangie Master Brand Ambassador
David Blackmore as the 2012 Scotch
Whisky Ambassador of The Year, in this
year’s Icons of Whisky America awards
competition. The awards are designed to
celebrate the people and places behind
the greatest whiskies in the world.
According to the judges: "…David
Blackmore has been indefatigable in
promoting the Glenmorangie range, its
sister distillery Ardbeg and raising the
profile of Scotch in the USA."
A native of Scotland, David is a
professional whisky tutor with a
background at The Scotch Malt Whisky
Society in Edinburgh and London. David
previously led the Society’s prestigious
“Tasting Panel” in cask selections, an
art in itself.
As Glenmorangie Master Brand Ambassador,
David leads the Glenmorangie USA
educational program in Single Malt
Scotch Whisky appreciation. Through
tastings and events across the U.S.,
David educates on the nuances and
intricacies of the Scotch category in
general, with unparalleled enthusiasm.
This has helped Glenmorangie become the
fastest growing Single Malt whisky in
the US for the third year in a row.
David also holds the distinction of
being the only U.S.-based global
ambassador. He has been sharing his
knowledge and passion for the last six
years with thousands of people all over
the world.
"I am truly honored to be commended by
my peers for doing work I love for a
company I believe in. It’s my goal for
everyone to appreciate the traditions
and history of Scotch as much as I do,"
said David after receiving the award.
