About William Grant & Sons:
William Grant & Sons is an independent, family owned premium spirits company. When our founder William Grant established our company in 1887, he had a vision to make the best dram in the valley, and that vision stands true today as we build brands that are loved the world over.
These include our eight core brands: Glenfiddich, Grant’s, The Balvenie, Tullamore D.E.W., Drambuie, Hendrick’s Gin, Sailor Jerry Rum and Monkey Shoulder.
We have distilling and bottling operations in Scotland, Ireland, Iceland, India, the US and Mexico and a team of over 2,600 people at 48 global locations.
We consistently win the industry’s top accolades, which are testament to the quality of our liquid, our dedication to our craft and the talent of our people.
One hundred and thirty four years on, we are leaders in the international spirits industry and have ambitious plans for growth to ensure our business is sustainable for the long term.
William Grant was a true pioneer. He worked with a close-knit team of talented and passionate people to create a legacy that endures and their spirit is very much at the heart of our culture today.
