About Girvan

On the Ayrshire coast, Girvan was built in 1963 by William Grant & Sons, who fell out with the Distillers Company over grain supplies and decided to make their own; it was running within nine months of breaking ground. Wheat-based, it feeds Grant's blends, and the site is also home to Hendrick's Gin. Light, creamy and sweet. William Grant's.
