ORANGE PEEL

Sean Harrison
Gin Operations Manager, Chivas Brothers 
Plymouth, United Kingdom

Stationed in Plymouth in the early 1990s while serving in the Royal Navy, Sean met his future wife and joined Plymouth Gin in 1994, giving him two good reasons to stay.

PROXIMITY.

Our collaboration with Tommy is a history of family and transmission. I first met his father, Michael, through our master distiller at the time.

When Michael, who worked for a well-known botanicals supplier, created his own company, we supported him, and Tommy joined this new venture. Tommy’s expertise is invaluable: he is in direct contact with citrus growers and has developed a close relationship with them.

He knows every type of botanical inside and out, as well as understanding our needs. We know we can trust him one hundred percent when we’re looking for something special – for plants that are little known or out of the ordinary. He’ll find what we’re looking for.
