William Grant & Sons Ltd. · London United Kingdom

You can take it for granted that William Grant & Sons is a top maker of top-shelf Scotch. The Scottish distiller produces single-malt Scotch whiskeys under brands such as Grant's, Glenfiddich, and Balvenie. William Grant & Sons was founded in 1886 by William Grant; today it is owned and overseen by the Gordon family, a fifth generation of Grant's heirs. Glenfiddich Scotch is one of the world's top-selling single-malt and most expensive whiskys. The company also owns several other liquor brands including Wood's 100 Old Navy rum, Reyka vodka, and Hendrick's gin. It sold its beer label, Innis & Gunn, in 2008. To read the full description, subscribe now.
