01 Darren Leitch
Regional Manager Edinburgh, The Whisky Shop Whisky retailing’s live wire, Darren needs boundless energy to front the Edinburgh branches of the 16-strong UK wide chain of The Whisky Shop, which in many ways has established single malt as a viable high street product south of the border. Hands-on, fun, hugely talented and has virtually dedicated his life to the whisky cause.
