Royal Mile Whiskies, Drinkmonger and The Cigar Box will all be retained, owned and operated in Scotland as part of The Deal .

Mr McClune becomes The Second former employee of Royal Mile Whiskies to return as owner of The Business .

Dormant Distillery Company (DDC) founder Keir Sword purchased The Shop in 1997, having worked there for several summers in his student days in the mid-1990s.

Mr Sword said: " As a former employee who myself returned to buy Royal Mile Whiskies, it is greatly satisfying to pass the baton on to one of Our Own , who shares My Vision for The Business and I trust to carry on our values. "

Mr McClune said he was " excited" to be part of The Team at DDC again.

As part of Vintage Saga, DDC will continue to operate independently from other businesses within The Group .

Arthur Motley, who has worked alongside Mr Sword for More Than 20 years, will become DDC's Managing Director .
