Edrington Turn to Rum

The Edrington Group owners of well known whisky brands The Macallan, Highland Park and The Famous Grouse have announced in a press release today that they have acquired a 60% share of Brugal rum. This shows an new direction for the company - so how many of their top level management are now off to buy Dave Brooms excellent book on rum.

Ian Curle Gets a Nice Pay Rise

Ian Curle the Chief Executive of The Edrington Group got a healthy pay rise of 25% according to a report in the Herald today. We obviously are all buying a lot of Famous Grouse to justify his £597000 a year take home.

Hey we would all take it if we could get it!

Sir Whisky

One of the good old boys from what many would class as the old school of whisky has been honoured. News in the papers show that Ian Good of the Edrington Group is to become Sir Ian Good. Congratulations to him.
