The German distributor Kirsch Import is expanding its partnership with the Scottish distiller Ian Macleod Distillers. Beginning in September, Kirsch Import will distribute additional brands including Glengoyne, Tamdhu, and Rosebank. This expansion builds upon a relationship existing since 2019, during which the company has managed the German distribution for brands such as Smokehead, Edinburgh Gin, and Isle of Skye. Following this development, a single distributor will manage the entire portfolio of the Scottish family business within the German market.
