William Grant & Sons
William Grant & Sons, a Banffshire-based business, made £933M in sales last year, with a total profit of £171M, making it the company the 56th fastest growing private business in Britain.
While the whisky business has slipped down seven places in the Top Track 100 League Table since 2014, owners from the Grant and Gordon families enjoyed an increase in annual profit of £7M since 2014.
Since that time, the company has acquired the Drambuie Liqueur Company to add to its list of non-whisky drinks, including Sailor Jerry rum and Hendrick’s gin.
