Crafting Spirits With Passion 🥃
About us
We are privileged to remain one of the most widely respected Scottish independent family firms in the spirits industry, with four generations of expertise. Like a lot of successful family businesses, our story began with someone pouring heart & soul into something they believed passionately in. Our founder, Leonard Russell Snr, pushed at the very limits of his craft, quickly became known for whisky of 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. Decades on, our family has grown. Today we have an enviable portfolio of much-loved world-class premium Scotch whisky, gin, & other spirits. Each may look and taste very different yet is crafted with the same undeniable passion & commitment to quality. Our independence gives us freedom to make our own decisions. Whether steadfastly respecting & honouring the unhurried traditions of the past, or fully embracing bold & innovative methods & exciting flavour combinations. At the heart of our brands, products & experiences, are our people. We all have stories. They make us who we are. They are our past, our present & our future. Ours humbly begins with family, following four generations of passion for craftsmanship, innovation & quality… without compromise. Steeped in tradition & heritage, but unafraid of evolution, we are all kindred spirits thriving in a constantly evolving, exciting & passionate environment, driven by both individual & 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.

Last night, we were honoured to see MLA 's sensitive revival of Rosebank Distillery recognised with the prestigious Editor’s Choice Award at the Architects’ Journal Architecture Awards. The distillery was the winner in the ‘Leisure Project’ category but also received the prestigious Editor’s Choice Award. This project, located in the heart of Falkirk, is a true testament to the power of community-centred design. By thoughtfully restoring the 1840s whisky distillery—disused since 1993—the team brought new life to a site rich in history, creating a space that blends heritage with innovation. The jury commended the project for its emotional resonance, stating, “It has brought back meaning and pride for the community.” We are incredibly proud of this achievement and look forward to sharing our outstanding distillery with you.

Introducing the second release in the Russell Family Cask trilogy: an exquisite 38 Year Old Single Cask matured in a first-fill American Oak Sherry Butt. This exceptional cask, number 915, was unanimously selected by three generations of the Russell Family, the proud owners and custodians of Glengoyne Distillery. This selection celebrates their legacy and dedication to sharing exceptional quality with Glengoyne’s global family. The nose reveals a dark and luxurious aroma with rich toffee, blackberry tart, and hints of floral honey. On the palate, you’ll discover fine dark chocolate, fresh strawberries with cream, tiramisu, and a warming touch of ginger. The finish is long and indulgent, with lingering notes of dark chocolate. Limited to just 241 bottles worldwide and bottled at 56.8% ABV, this highly sought-after dram is now available for purchase.
