Vic Cameron (BSc DipDist)  Vic has over 23 years experience in the distilling industry, working in a number of roles for the largest Distiller in the UK over his long career. He has worked in production management at both malting and distilling sites. He can go into as much (or as little) scientific detail as you wish; having passed the major industrial exam in this field, the IBD Diploma in Distilling, Vic is proud to have been the 4th International Malt Whisky Nosing Champion. He is now on the organising committee for the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival whisky school and also the Whisky Lecturer for the University of the Highlands and Islands. The university runs this course in conjunction with Gordon and MacPhail, providing training in whisky history, production, marketing and tasting.  Starting midway through 2015, Vic started a long (we hope) working relationship with MCLEANSCOTLAND.
