MBA Alumnus Camilo Gomez has found great success with his whisky tasting company Once Upon a Whisky, who were awarded with the Food Tourism Award at the 2022/23 Scottish Thistle Awards.
The Thistle Awards, hosted by VisitScotland, are Scotland’s premier awards for the tourism industry, and Camilo and his team have triumphed in the West of Scotland category.
Once Upon a Whisky, founded in 2017, provide whisky tastings and guided distillery tours across Scotland, with a goal to educate customers by storytelling. They focus on highlighting the history, processes, and culture of whisky, ensuring their experiences are informative, educational and fun. Their virtual tours proved particularly successful over the past few years, as the team brought professional whisky tasting courses straight into customer's homes.
This was recognised by the judging panel at the Awards, which highlighted the positive impact that Once Upon a Whisky brought to the local economy and the community in the face of the pandemic.
"I'm very proud to be the winner of the 'Food Tourism Award' at the Scottish Thistle Awards 2022/23" said Camilo. "Our commitment to Scottish tourism and the whisky industry is greater than ever. Thanks so much to all our customers, industry partners, and the MBA team at Glasgow Uni for the massive support through the years."
Congratulations Camilo on your success!
