Producer Information: William Grant & Sons

William Grant & Sons, established in 1887 in Dufftown, Scotland, began as a family-owned distillery with William Grant’s vision to craft the finest single malt whisky using local Speyside barley and pure spring water from the Robbie Dhu springs. Their production style emphasizes traditional copper pot stills and long fermentation times, which contribute to the distinctive character of their spirits. Beyond their flagship Glenfiddich single malt Scotch whisky, they are also known for producing The Balvenie with its unique floor malting process and Kininvie distillery releases. The company’s portfolio extends into premium blended whiskies like Grant’s as well as innovative spirits such as Hendrick’s Gin from Girvan on the Ayrshire coast and Tullamore D.E.W., an Irish whiskey that highlights triple distillation for smoothness. This focus on regional authenticity and category leadership has made William Grant & Sons a key player in both Scottish whisky heritage and global spirits innovation.
