The strategic purchase of the fully integrated producer of blended and single malt whiskies will allow Distell to capitalise on the continuing global growth in whisky consumption, and give it access to scarce blended and single malt stocks from prime whisky producing regions in Scotland.
The deal follows an equal partner venture established in 2007 between Distell and Burn Stewart in which the two parties co-owned and marketed three Scotch Whiskies: Bunnahabhain, Black Bottle and Scottish Leader, in sub-Saharan Africa.
