The Scotch Whisky Association operates as the trade body for the Scotch Whisky sector, representing members who are distillers, bottlers, brand owners, and brokers. It seeks to advance the global profile and interests of Scotch Whisky and its industry partners by engaging with government and policy voices and by influencing public debate. The association regards the sector as a significant economic and cultural asset for Scotland and Britain, supporting growth and employment while blending traditional craft with modern practices. Based in Edinburgh, Scotland, the organization traces its roots to 1912 and was established as the SWA in 1940. In January 2026, Rita Greenwood, Chief Investment Officer at William Grant & Sons, was named chair of the SWA Council.
