Whisky bottler The Single Cask – home to a warehouse in Glenrothes of over 3000 casks – is expanding its team with two senior hires; Jan Damen joins as General Manager with Helen Stewart taking the role of Brand Marketing Manager to help tell the story of The Single Cask and take the company to the next level.
Jan Damen, who was previously Operations Director for Europe at The Scotch Malt Whisky Society and Group Commercial & Operations Director at The Artisanal Spirits Company, will oversee the global strategy for The Single Cask, leading the commercial management and financial planning of the company.
Helen Stewart, who was also at the The Scotch Malt Whisky Society where she was Head of Brand Marketing & Membership, will focus developing the global brand strategy.
Jan Damen said, “Feeling the contagious passion and enthusiasm the small team here at The Single Cask have and, of course sampling some of their incredible whiskies, I knew instantly that I wanted to be involved in taking the company to the next level. It was an easy decision to take up the role of General Manager at The Single Cask. We only bottle whiskies with the clear mission of exciting and entertaining our whisky drinking family, and to me that is what whisky is all about.
Helen Stewart said, “Drinking single cask whisky is an incredible experience, one that deserves to be shared and appreciated in imaginative ways. What I love about The Single Cask is the belief that the search for the ultimate dram never ends. There is no finish line. It’s such an exciting vision and drive.”
