Lying in Scotland's Lowland whisky region, Girvan distillery was founded in 1963 by Wm. Grant & Sons Ltd to supply grain whisky for their blends, something it continues to do to this day.

Incidentally, grain whisky produced at Girvan is available under the distillery's own 'Black Barrel' brand name and tends to have biscuity, buttery and Demerara sugar notes.
