  OLIVER CHILTON

  Head Blender

  [email protected]

  Oliver started his career in spirits retail, working in a variety of shops and learning from his colleagues and customers alike. In 2011, he joined The Whisky Exchange at its shop in Vinopolis, London, soon moving into heading up the events.
  
  In 2013, he went on a whisky-buying trip to Scotland and became hooked, quickly moving into the world of cask selection and buying. In 2015, he was part of the team that launched independent bottler Elixir Distillers, and took on responsibility for the company’s cask purchasing and brand creation.
  
  Oliver now looks after day-to-day business decisions at Elixir Distillers, as well as all the cask buying, selection, blending and bottling for all releases by Elixir Distillers (including, of course, Black Tot).
