MacDuff International

United Kingdom

MacDuff International was established in 1992 by Stewart MacDuff, Charles Murray and Ted Thomson. Their vision was to continue the proud tradition of independant Scotch Whisky blenders, offering quality, reliability and most importantly the personal touch in these days of multinational, multi-brand drinks organisations. To this end MacDuff International specially selected three of the oldest blended whisky brands in existence, Grand Macnish, Lauder’s and Islay Mist as the cornerstones of the new venture.
