About the Producer Vintage Malt Whisky Company

The Vintage Malt Whisky Company was founded in 1992 by Brian Crook, who worked at one of Scotland’s leading distilleries. His ambition was to bring together the country’s most iconic distilleries making exceptional vintages accessible to the most discerning enthusiasts. More than 25 years later, the company is a resounding success, exporting over ten million bottles of whisky to more than 30 countries. The spirits are crafted using three essential ingredients, namely barley, water and yeast. Distillation is carried out using a traditional still to collect 100% pure alcohol. The company matures the spirits in oak casks, which impart the distinctive gourmet aromas and characteristic amber colour to them. The Vintage Malt Whisky Company offers unique and authentic spirits, reflecting a rigorous production process carried out by passionate producers.
