A centre of scientific excellence for the Scotch Whisky Industry

The Scotch Whisky Research Institute is the industry’s Research & Technology Organisation. We are funded by Scotch Whisky companies, our members, to carry out the research required to address current industry challenges. Our team of scientists works closely with our members to plan, execute, communicate and apply our research. Much of this research is carried out in our purpose-built laboratories, which house specialised equipment, or out in distilleries or other production sites.
