The Edrington Group
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Edrington Group Limited is a large Scottish distilling company. It produces several well-known whiskies, including The Famous Grouse, Macallan, Highland Park Single Malt, and Cutty Sark (whisky).
A distilling company was founded in Glasgow in 1865 by William A. Robertson. In 1887 the family founded Highland Distillers entering into a joint venture with William Grant & Sons.
The Miss Robertson sisters established in May 1961 the Robertson Trust. Miss Elspeth, Miss Agnes, and Miss Ethel Robertson had inherited from their father William, the controlling interest in Robertson & Baxter and Clyde Bonding Company, which was renamed The Edrington Group after their estate. Today these companies are wholly owned by the Trust.
