The Girvan distillery was constructed in 1963 by William Grant & Sons, owners of Glenfiddich and Balvenie, and has been creating quality single grain whisky for the company’s blended whisky brands ever since. The move was necessary after Grant’s had broken a gentleman’s agreement with the rest of the industry not to advertise their whisky on television, imperilling their supply of grain whisky from rivals DCL.
The short-lived Ladyburn single malt distillery was built onsite at Girvan in 1965, but ceased production in 1975. In 2007 the Ailsa Bay single malt distillery was built at Girvan with considerably more success, and now produces around 12m litres of malt whisky per annum alongside Girvan’s output of 100 million litres of grain spirit. Girvan is also home to Grant’s Hendrick’s Gin, which has its own stillhouse within the complex.
Thompson Bros is an independent whisky bottler launched by brothers Phil and Simon Thompson, owners of Dornoch distillery and the Dornoch Castle Hotel in the northeastern Highlands.
The Thompson Bros operation was originally set up as an indie bottler to raise funds for the brothers’ Dornoch micro-distillery project but has since become a successful enterprise in its own right, with hundreds of bottlings under their belt at the time of writing in 2025. The Thompsons are big fans of old school whisky and their whiskies are bottled without colouring or chill filtration, usually at cask strength.
