John Sutherland Passes On

This sad news from our friends at The Glenrothes

It is with great sadness that I have to tell you that John Sutherland, the Distillery Manager at Glenrothes, died at the weekend. John was taken into hospital last week, initially to Elgin then to Aberdeen and Edinburgh. He went home at the end of the week, apparently never really felt well, and died at home on Saturday morning.

John was so much more than the distillery manager. First and foremost a true friend, John was a great character - larger than life, with a fantastic and wicked sense of humour. He was an active and devoted ambassador for The Glenrothes, fully involved both at the heart of its production and as an evangelist on a global level.

I'm sure you will be as shocked and devastated as we are, as we will miss him immeasurably. It goes without saying that our thoughts are with John's Family.

We will of course let you know of the funeral arrangements and will be liasing with John's family on behalf of everyone at Berry Bros.

Can I ask that you kindly let other people know who may have met John at Rothes or elsewhere, and whom I have missed off this note.

Yours

Luke
