GIRVAN

The Girvan grain distillery was built by William Grant & Sons in 1963 on the site of a Second World War munitions factory. Ayrshire, just next to Girvan port, was the perfect place for a distillery: large quantities of grain could be shipped to the port and Loch Penwhappel provided all the necessary water. The first still that was installed, known as ‘No.1 Apps’, continues to produce excellent quality whisky.
