William Lawson's was created in 1849 by William Lawson, a Scottish immigrant who moved to
Ireland. In 1889, the brand name "W Lawson & Co" was registered by William Lawson while working as an export manager at E&J Burke in
Dublin. In 1953, Clan Munro Whisky Ltd acquired the Lawson's trademark and renamed it William Lawson's to avoid confusion with another blend. It has been distilled and blended in the
Macduff distillery alongside the
Glen Deveron single malt whisky since the distillery was acquired by William Lawson Distillers Ltd in 1972. In 1993, Bacardi acquired Martini & Rossi, which included the William Lawson's brand. The brand has the best sales in
France,
Portugal,
Spain and
Mexico. == References ==
