Watt, D.L., William Virtue, J. Stuart Smith, and William H. Ross (Managing Director). Secretary: David R. Kelly. The history of the firm is closely connected with that of the Grain Distillery industry for the last thirty years. In the early seventies the leading Scotch Grain Distillers formed an Association for the better regulation of production. This movement culminated in the formation, in 1877, of a Company embracing all the principal Distilleries, with the exception of that of Messrs. Menzies & Co. Some of these had been established for over a century as Malt Distilleries, and needed conversion into Patent Still Distilleries, to meet the more modern requirements of the trade. In 1878 the Pot Still Distillery of the Chapelizod Co., Dublin, was acquired, and was later fitted with a Patent Still to suit the altered taste of the public. Shortly afterwards the Caledonian Distillery, Edinburgh, and the Gin Distillery, Tooley Street, London, were absorbed by the Company. In 1892 the Knockdhu Distillery was established for the supply of Highland Malt Whisky. In 1902 the Distilleries of Messrs. C. & D. Gray, Adelphi, Glasgow, and of the ArdgoCvan Distillery Co., Ltd., Greenock, were taken over. In 1908 the Company acquired the Vauxhall Distillery, Liverpool, from Messrs. Archibald Walker & Co. The total amount invested in the business is fully £3,000,000.
