Speciality Drinks Whisky

Speciality Drinks is the name behind the name — the company that went online in 1999 with The Whisky Exchange and has since supplied both Michelin-starred restaurants and small country pubs with the same expertise. It's the engine room behind some of whisky's most respected independent series.

  • Port Askaig 15 Year Old whisky bottle

About Speciality Drinks

Speciality Drinks Ltd was founded by brothers Sukhinder and Raj Singh, who together have nearly 50 years of experience in the spirits trade, and who in 1999 launched The Whisky Exchange, today one of the world's largest online specialist retailers of whisky and fine spirits. Beyond retail, the firm has developed a number of acclaimed proprietary brands, including Elements of Islay, Port Askaig, Single Malts of Scotland and the luxury series Black Tot, featuring the last authentic stocks of Royal Navy Rum. For collectors, the name stands as a guarantee of thorough cask selection, while newcomers gain access to one of the industry's broadest, most carefully curated ranges.

History & Background

Sukhinder and Raj Singh began their journey in the spirits trade long before the internet made online shopping the norm, and in 1999 The Whisky Exchange was among the first to sell whisky and fine spirits over the web. The firm's expertise grew alongside a rising on-trade business, and Speciality Drinks today supplies some of Britain's most acclaimed hotels and restaurants while serving small country pubs with the same personal service. From the early, standalone single malt releases, the firm has since developed an entire family of award-winning brands, all built on the core idea that genuine expertise need not compromise on accessibility.

Production & Style

The whisky is distilled at various distilleries and then selected cask by cask, often unfiltered and with a focus on authenticity.

Signature Style

Varied, Authentic, Cask-Driven
The flavor varies by source distillery, but a clean, unfiltered cask character is common.
