About MacAndrew's
MacAndrew's is a Scotch whisky brand BMMI bought in 2009, making it the first beverage brand the group's BMMI Shops division owned outright rather than distributed on someone else's behalf. It is sold in Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Oman: a Scotch whose trademark belongs to a Bahraini company and whose market is the Gulf rather than Britain.

About the owner: BMMI
BMMI is a publicly listed company headquartered in Al Hamriya, Bahrain, founded in 1883. Brandtree records 8 brands under its control, and it is listed as Bahrain Bourse: BMMI.
BMMI is a Bahraini retail, distribution and contract-services group that traces itself to 1883, when the British merchant house Gray Paul opened a branch in Bahrain. It was renamed Gray Mackenzie after a 1936 merger, joined the Inchcape group in 1955, and became Bahrain Maritime & Mercantile International in 1980 when Inchcape brought in local shareholders; Inchcape sold out in 1999, leaving it wholly Bahraini-owned, and the legal name was shortened to the acronym in 2010. It reported net profit of BD 7.5 million for 2025 and runs five segments — retail, wholesale, contract supply, hospitality, and investments and shipping — across Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Djibouti, Sudan, South Sudan, Kenya and the United States.
