Inver House Distillers Ltd. is a Scotch whisky distiller, based in Airdrie, Scotland. The company is a subsidiary of ThaiBev, one of the largest alcoholic-beverage companies in Southeast Asia.

Inver House Distillers owns and operates five whisky distilleries: Balblair distillery, Balmenach distillery, Pulteney distillery Knockdhu distillery, and Speyburn distillery, and sells blended whisky under the Hankey Bannister brand.

History

[edit]

The company was established in 1964 as a subsidiary of the American company, Publicker Industries of Philadelphia. Publicker Industries had successfully launched Inver House Rare, a brand of blended Scotch whisky in 1956. However, as a result of industry demand, there were not sufficient stocks to meet sales.[1]

Under the chairmanship of Mr S. S. Neuman, a site was acquired at Airdrie in March 1964, and a fully integrated complex was constructed, including Glen Flagler malt distillery and Garnheath grain distillery .[1]

Following the death of the founder, there was a period of decline in the fortunes of the company.[1]

In 1979, Standard Brands acquired Inver House from Publicker.[2] The operations became the subject of a management buyout in January 1988.[1] The company was then sold by the management to become a wholly owned subsidiary of International Beverage Holdings (InterBev), the international arm of Singapore-listed Thai Beverage Public Company Limited (ThaiBev) in 2006.[3]
