The Vintage Malt Whisky Co.

Brian Crook turned many years of expertise in the whisky industry as export director for Bowmore into his own brand when he founded The Vintage Malt Whisky Co. in 1992. The aim was to provide independent wine and spirit importers with fine whisky and that approach certainly worked.

After 25 years, the company had exported more than 10 million bottles of malt whisky to more than 30 countries across the world, welcoming Highlands & Islands Scotch Whisky Co on board 1997 along the way before being snapped up by Islay Storm producers CS James & Sons in 2005.

The group has plenty of award winning brands to boast now, including Finlaggan, The Ileach, and Islay Storm (all single malts from the island of Islay on the west coast of Scotland), as well as The Cooper’s Choice, a range of single cask bottlings.
