Tell us about your flagship brands- e.g. the vision, branding, heritage etc.…?
Our brands have always been about the provenance allied to the highest quality. Marussia Beverages do not just import and represent brands but we also have our own including Mamont Vodka from Siberia and the independently bottled Mezan Rum range from the Caribbean. The brands that trust us to represent them in the UK cover all the categories with a strong gin presence both from our London and UK home (Fifty Pounds Gin, NEW Barber’s Gin, NEW Porter’s Gin) and abroad (Aviation, Death’s Door, Zuidam) as well as Briottet liqueurs from France and Tosolini from Italy. And our whiskies live up the billing too with Heaven Hill’s comprehensive range from USA, Teeling from Ireland, Mackmyra from Sweden, Millstone from Holland as well as Scotch from the pioneers at Compass Box.
