Inver House Distillers Limited is a Scottish malt whisky distiller, based in Airdrie, North Lanarkshire. The company is now a subsidiary of Thai Beverages, one of the largest alcoholic-beverage companies in South East Asia, with a market capitalisation in excess of US$4bn. Inver House Distillers is a leading distiller of single malt whisky, owning and operating five distilleries: Old Pulteney Distillery, The Speyburn-Glenlivet Distillery, Balblair Distillery, Knockdhu Distillery and Balmenach Distillery. ==History== 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. 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 a malt distillery—Glenflagler and Killyloch—and a grain distillery Garnheath. Following the death of the founder, there was a period of decline in the fortunes of the company. In 1979, Standard Brands acquired Inver House from Publicker.〔(Publicker Completes Sale of Liquor Business In U.S. for $35 Million )〕 The operations became the subject of a management buyout in January 1988. The company was then sold by the management to Thai Beverages in 2001. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Inver House Distillers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
