It was founded by local grain merchant James Stuart, who at the time also held the license for Macallan. In 1887, the distillery was renamed Glen Spey when Stuart acquired Macallan and sold the Rothes plant to the London gin company W\u0026amp;A Gilbey—marking the firm's first venture into Scotch whisky. Over time, Gilbey expanded its Scotch portfolio by adding Knockando and Strathmill, with Glen Spey becoming the home of its Spey Royal blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1138\" data-start=\"696\"\u003eA later merger between Gilbey and the parent company of fellow London wine merchant Justerini \u0026amp; Brooks led to the formation of International Distillers \u0026amp; Vintners (IDV). Glen Spey, which was already supplying whisky for the J\u0026amp;B blend, became even more closely linked to the brand. The 1997 merger between IDV and Guinness, forming Diageo, once again changed the distillery's ownership and further integrated it into a global drinks portfolio.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Infrequent Flyers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57077485699447,"sku":"P5632S","price":98.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"infrequent-flyers-girvan-27-year-old-single-grain-scotch-whisky","title":"Infrequent Flyers Girvan 27 year old Single Grain Scotch Whisky","description":"\u003ch1\u003eInfrequent Flyers Girvan 27 year old Single Grain Scotch Whisky\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegion: Lowland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eABV: 55.6%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCask Type: Tawny Port \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyle: Tawny Port Finish Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: Deep amber.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGirvan Distillery\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGirvan Distillery, located in South Ayrshire, Scotland, has a fascinating history deeply intertwined with the whisky industry's evolution. Established in 1963 by William Grant \u0026amp; Sons, the same family behind the iconic Glenfiddich and Balvenie distilleries, Girvan was envisioned as a state-of-the-art grain whisky distillery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe distillery was built during a time when the whisky industry was experiencing a surge in demand for blended whiskies. With the introduction of continuous column stills, Girvan became one of the pioneers in producing single grain whisky, a key component in many blended Scotch whiskies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout its history, Girvan Distillery has embraced innovation. In 1992, it installed a unique vacuum distillation system known as the \"patent still\", which allowed for the production of purer, lighter spirit. This innovation further expanded Girvan's capabilities and contributed to the creation of diverse whisky profiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to technological advancements, Girvan has also upheld traditional craftsmanship, focusing on quality and consistency in its whisky production. Over the years, it has released a range of single grain whiskies under various labels, showcasing the depth and complexity that grain whisky can offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGirvan's whiskies have garnered recognition and acclaim, both as standalone expressions and as components of renowned blends.

It was built in 1871 and was one of the area's most self-sufficient distilleries. The distillery managed to survive the Pattison crisis and WWI difficulties. The lack of demand from the American market during the prohibition was too much for Inchgower and it struggled. In 1936 it was closed down and, uniquely among distilleries, it was purchased by the local council.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoon after, Arthur Bell and Sons bought the distillery. Ever since, the vast majority of the whisky produced at Inchgower has been used in blends including the Bell's blend. Under the Bell's ownership the production capacity was increased in 1966. After Guiness (who controlled Bell's) and Distillers Company Limited merged to form Diageo the distillery remained in the latter's portfolio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe style of Inchgower is salty, waxy and spicy.
