Whisky giant Edrington has sealed an agreement with strategic partner Suntory Holdings which should result in more money going to good causes across Scotland.

The deal involves Japanese firm Suntory purchasing 10 per cent of Edrington shares for an undisclosed sum.

Suntory has a long-term shareholding in The Macallan, the top brand in Edrington’s portfolio, which also includes Famous Grouse.
