The Girvan Distillery
It was in 1886/87 when William Grant, the founder of William Grant & Sons, opened his first small distillery. He had a vision back then: “to create the best dram in the valley” – In order to make his dream a reality, he invested a lot of hard work and effort in his company and quickly rose to become one of the most successful whisky producers of his time. The company’s flagship – the Glenfiddich Distillery – now stands on the site where Grant opened his first distillery.

In addition to the Glenfiddich Distillery, the William Grant & Sons company also successfully operates other distilleries, such as the Girvan Distillery. This was built in 1963 under the supervision of Charles Gordon, the great-grandson of William Grant, and was considered the most modern distillery in the world at the time. The distillery was built because William Grant & Sons had begun to produce blends and had problems obtaining high-quality grain whiskies due to an internal dispute with supplier Distillers Company Ltd. (DCL). So it was decided to produce grain whisky themselves in the future and built the Girvan distillery.

To this day, the Girvan distillery is considered the "most technically advanced distillery in Scotland" and has been expanded over the last 50 years to include four more ultra-modern, continuously operating stills. This includes a still installed in 1992 that enables "MPS distillation". This refers to distillation under different pressures, including vacuum, which enables the production of sweeter, fruitier, and purer whiskies. The Girvan Distillery is now world-famous for this type of high-quality grain whisky.

This creates a highly complex whisky full of finesse with The Girvan 28YO Patent Still Single Grain Scotch Whisky.

On the nose, the light golden The Girvan 28YO Patent Still Single Grain Scotch Whisky shows fine aromas of vanilla, toffee and apple. On the palate, notes of cinnamon, orange and chocolate are added, which can also be perceived in nuances in the long aftertaste.
