The Ailsa Bay Malt Whisky Distillery was built by the William Grant & Sons company to meet their needs for malt whisky for their blended whiskies.[1] The distillery was built near the site of the Girvan distillery.[2]
It was officially founded in 2007.[3] The opening was attended by Prince Charles in 2009.[4]
In March 2019, Ailsa Bay released a new brand of scotch whisky which was protected with blockchain technology to prevent counterfeiting.[5]
In September 2019, Ailsa Bay released Aerstone, a new brand of single malt scotch whisky.[6] William Grant & Sons says it is aimed at new whisky drinkers that find established single malts like Glenfiddich and The Balvenie “too complex with intimidating choice and language”.[7]
