Amalgamated Distilled Products
Amalgamated Distilled Products (ADP) was a Scottish company with a range of interests in whisky and rum production. It was established in 1970 in order to acquire A. Gillies & Co and its Glen Scotia distillery in Campbeltown, and it also operated subsidiaries such as Grangemouth Bonding Company and Glen Nevis Distillery Company. In 1982 it also added Littlemill and Loch Lomond to its distillery portfolio by acquiring the American company, Barton Brands.
In 1983 the company merged with Argyll Foods PLC to form the Argyll Group, which later made an attempt at a hostile takeover of the Distillers Company in 1985. Unsuccessful, the company opted to divest from the distilling industry two years later and sold most of its Scotch whisky portfolio to Gibson International. ADP was then dissolved in 2014, by which point it was a non-trading part of the Wm. Morrison Supermarkets group.
