Built in 1963 under the direction of Charles Gordon, great-grandson of Mr. William Grant, the Girvan distillery was immediately considered the most advanced structure in terms of production standards for the time. In the same year of when the term Single Malt was coming out with the impulse of Glenfiddich, another famous family brand, William Grant & Sons inaugurated the 'No.1 Apps' - the first column of scotch grain - gradually joined by four more installations over the next 50 years.


Among these, a new type of column called patent still was introduced. This is able to operate through a vacuum distillation process able to return a product more clear to the palate and even more pure. After years of aging in American white oak barrels, The Girvan Patent Still is born.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
