William Grant's

About William Grant's

The company has remained family owned since the beginning, which is unusual for a spirits business of its size. William Grant’s son-in-law, Charles Gordon, became the company’s first salesman and helped expand exports in the early 20th century, and the family is still involved today, with fifth-generation family member Glenn Gordon serving as chairman.

William Grant & Sons grew well beyond Dufftown over the following decades, including the opening of Girvan Distillery in 1963 and the later launch or development of brands such as Hendrick’s, Monkey Shoulder and Tullamore D.E.W. Today the group’s portfolio includes Glenfiddich, The Balvenie, Grant’s, Hendrick’s, Monkey Shoulder, Tullamore D.E.W., Drambuie, Milagro, Reyka and The Famous Grouse, with production sites in the UK, Ireland, the US, India and Mexico.
