Jennie Baernreuther has stepped down as MD of The Glenturret after just over a year at the helm of the Scotch whisky distiller.
Baernreuther joined the Crieff-based business in March 2024 following 17 years with Speciality Drinks Group.
In a LinkedIn post, she wrote: “As I finish up my role as managing director at The Glenturret, I am overwhelmed with gratitude, and pride. To be given the opportunity to lead this brilliant business, if even for a relatively short period of time in the long history of the brand, has been a privilege and honour.
“What I will miss most about The Glenturret is not the pretty location, Michelin star entertaining or even the delicious whisky, but the people who make the business so special.”
Baernreuther said she is moving to the Cotswolds “at the end of the summer”, with plans to begin a new career chapter after a period of “garden leave”.
The Glenturret is jointly owned by Lalique Group and Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss.
The two parties formed a 50/50 joint venture in 2019 after Lalique chairman Silvio Denz acquired the site from Edrington via his wine company Art & Terroir.
The distillery, known for its single malts, has not yet named Baernreuther’s successor. The company's product range also includes The Aberturret gin.
Just Drinks approached The Glenturret and Lalique for comment.
Among Lalique's other assets is the French wine estate Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey.
"The Glenturret MD Jennie Baernreuther leaves " was originally created and published by Just Drinks, a GlobalData owned brand.
