Bruichladdich was acquired from Beam Global Spirits Wines in late-2000 by Murray McDavid, a malt bottling business set up by two London wine merchants and a member of the family that owned whisky distiller Springbank, for $10.1m.
The transaction price represents a return of seven times the initial share price, according to Bruichladdich's MD, Mark Reynier.
