We are privileged enough to remain one of the most widely respected Scottish independent family firms in the spirits industry, with four generations of expertise, distilling, blending and bottling to our name. Like a lot of successful family businesses, our story began with someone pouring heart and soul into something they believed passionately in. Our founder, Leonard Russell Snr, pushed at the very limits of his craft and quickly became known for making whisky to exacting standards. Of course, when you make whisky that good, you soon attract interest from those with a similar appreciation for the finer things in life. More than 80 years on, our family has grown, and today we have an enviable portfolio of much-loved world-class premium Scotch whisky, gin, and rum brands. Each may look and taste very different yet is crafted with the same undeniable passion and commitment to quality. Our independence gives us freedom to make our own decisions. Whether that’s steadfastly respecting and honouring the unhurried traditions of the past, or fully embracing bold and innovative methods and exciting flavour combinations. Being unafraid of evolution is what will give us a place at the table for the next 80 years + At the heart of our brands, products and experiences, are our people. We all have stories. They make us who we are. They are our past, our present and our future. Ours humbly begins with family, following four generations of passion for craftsmanship, innovation and quality… without compromise. Steeped in tradition and heritage, but unafraid of evolution, we are all kindred spirits thriving in a constantly evolving, exciting and passionate environment, driven by both individual and team successes. By providing a platform for personal growth, we enable our people to really make their mark. As a family owned company, we are strong believers in looking after our people. After all, everyone should have a workplace that they can call home.
