Who Benefits More From The Partnership: Carnoustie Golf Links Or Glencadam?


By: August 1, 2024


At the 2023 Scotch Whisky Masters, I found an unknown whiskey brand, the Glencadam. I must say, it excelled in four categories. The 10, 15, and 21-year-old Glencadam whiskies seem to me bright and light.

Glencadam Single Malt has always been a top-notch whisky for blending and has been highly sought after for some of the world’s most prestigious blends.

It is essential to remain cognizant of these facts, as sponsorship partnerships can flounder if the positioning and target audience of the two brands are different. Misalignment can confuse consumers and harm the brand’s reputation.

I suggest establishing well-defined expectations and communication channels with partners to uphold mutual accountability and the collaborative pursuit of shared objectives.
