Commercial Profile
Spirits Supplier of
Choice
While Findlater Wine & Spirit Group's credentials in wine are well known, especially with a history going back to 1750, it is their spirits brands that are really making waves in the drinks industry.
RANGE Findlater Wine & Spirit Group prides itself on being the ‘Supplier of Choice’ to the trade, offering first class service, range, knowledge and brand-building expertise. The Group has an extensive range of branded spirits, covering all the major categories in the market: Tullamore D.E.W. is the number two Irish whiskey in the world. Its 35m whiskey distillery opened in Tullamore, Co Offaly last year. Stolichnaya, more popularly known as 'Stoli,' is still made to its original Russian recipe. The brand was the first to produce a line of premium flavoured vodkas in 1962 and today it boasts the largest range of naturally flavoured vodka in the market. Sea Dog Dark Rum is Ireland's number one dark rum. Based on a recipe that takes its inspiration from infamous Sea Dog pirates of the 1500s, it is distilled in the tradition of that buccaneering spirit, maintaining the same dark, mysterious character that is evocative of Old Jamaica. Glenfiddich is the number one single malt in the world. It is also the most awarded, having won more awards than any other single malt.
Complementing these brands, Findlater Wine & Spirit Group also distribute Grants Scotch, Drambuie, La Fée Absinthe, Marie Brizard Liqueurs, Botanic Premium Gin and Count Rostov Vodka.
and the company is proud to boast a tally of 22 Advanced Certificate and five Diploma holders. In addition, their Spirit Brand Developers have undergone in-depth cocktail and spirit training at The Dublin Bar Academy and regularly visit other markets to stay ahead of any trends that are about to hit Ireland.
