Lorna Scott

Founder Inverroche

bio

Lorna Scott is the visionary CEO and founder of Inverroche Distillery. With a diverse career journey that spans from the skies as an air hostess to the corridors of corporate leadership, Scott's path eventually led her to the serene landscapes of Still Bay, where she served as the deputy mayor of the Hessequa municipality.

It was during this time that Scott's passion for sustainable development ignited, fueled by her desire to transform the region into a thriving tourist destination while empowering the local community with meaningful employment opportunities.

Inspired by the rich history of Still Bay, Scott uncovered a treasure trove of ancient knowledge nestled near the Inverroche distillery — an archaeological site dating back hundreds of thousands of years, revealing humanity's profound connection to the land and its resources.
Determined to weave this narrative into a global brand, Scott embarked on a mission to harness the indigenous fynbos botanicals of the Cape Floral Region, honouring the ancestral wisdom of survival and sustainability.

In a bold stroke of innovation, Scott pioneered the infusion of gin with fynbos, carving out a new frontier in the local and international spirits industry.
Her dedication to sustainability extends beyond mere practice; it's ingrained in the very fabric of Inverroche's ethos.

Today, the distillery stands as a testament to eco-conscious entrepreneurship, with 70% of its workforce comprised of women from the local community and a production process that harmonizes seamlessly with the environment.
