Whiskyshack.com is owned and operated
by Lombard Brands Ltd.
Independent and family owned, Lombard
has a family history in the drinks business stretching back almost
300 years. Aside from Scotch Whisky, the family have
had ownership of vineyards in France, cork factories in Portugal
and breweries in England. The brewery business initiated
the family involvement with whisky, when brewers bottled Whisky
in addition to producing Beer.
Lombard Scotch Whisky was established
in the 1960s when the company began to lay down fillings at the
distilleries and hold, mature and bottle from its own stocks.
Lombard entered the market as suppliers of bulk whisky to blenders.
Administration was established on the
Isle of Man (an old Scottish isle between Ireland and Scotland)
and a stock base was developed. The 1990s witnessed the single
malt whisky category develop and Lombard diversify their interests
to the cased goods market - the company’s first move to control
the utilisation of mature stock.
