The Drinks Business 11 February 2021 By Phoebe French Spirits producer and bottler Elixir Distillers has been granted approval to build a Scotch whisky distillery on the Scottish island of Islay. Elixir Distillers has been granted planning permission by the Argyl & Bute council planning committee to build a new distillery which will combine “elements of tradition and modernity in both design and production”. Elixir, which was co-founded by brothers Sukhinder and Rajbir Singh of retailer the Whisky Exchange, first applied for planning permission back in 2018.
