William Grant’s is the largest independent family-owned whisky producer in Scotland, with the current chairman the great-great-grandson of founder William Grant. The company owns the Glenfiddich, Balvenie, Kininvie and Ailsa Bay malt whisky distilleries as well as the Girvan grain distillery, the new Tullamore distillery in Ireland, the Monkey Shoulder blended malt whisky brand and various other spirits including Hendrick’s Gin, Reyka Vodka, Drambuie liqueur and the Sailor Jerry and Wood’s Old Navy rums.
Born in Dufftown and formerly a manager at Mortlach distillery, William Grant built Glenfiddich by hand from the ground up, assisted by several of his nine children, and commenced distillation on Christmas Day 1887. Balvenie was built in 1892 and the family whisky blending operation began in 1898, the year of the Pattison crash. Grant’s blended whisky now sells over 4m cases annually and has been in its famous triangular bottle (which it shares with Glenfiddich) since 1957.
