Scottish Spirits Company Announces Move to Glasgow City Centre in Kintyre House on West George Street – Whisky News

Scottish spirits company announces move to Glasgow city centre

CBRE concludes deal on behalf of Legal & General following significant refurbishment of Kintyre House on West George Street

Glasgow – Premium Scottish spirits business, CVH Spirits, has relocated to Kintyre House in Glasgow city centre, marking a significant move for the premium spirits business, which is custodian for Bunnahabhain, Deanston and Tobermory distilleries.

Global real estate adviser CBRE acted on behalf of landlord Legal and General (L&G), securing a five-year, 3,024 sq ft lease, which will see CVH relocate its corporate operations from East Kilbride.

The move will see around 30 staff across marketing, finance, HR, IT and commercial functions establish a new central hub in the city centre, while production, bottling, blending and warehousing operations will remain at the company’s East Kilbride site.

Founded in 2023, CVH Spirits was previously part of the Distell Group and earlier operated as Burn Stewart Distillers. Today, the business is an independent premium spirits company and custodian of some of Scotland’s most recognised distilleries and whisky brands, with the company employing around 300 people across the UK, EU and Asia.

The relocation marks a significant investment by CVH Spirits’, underlining its commitment to its Scottish operations and the company’s continued commercial focus following the appointment of Chief Executive Officer Ronan O’Rahilly last year. Establishing a high quality, central headquarters reflects the company’s confidence in its brand portfolio and future opportunity as it continues to build momentum domestically and internationally.

Kintyre House has been recently refurbished to provide modern, efficient workspace with an EPC A energy rating, and offering L&G’s ‘Capsule’ brand of fully fitted office space, including meeting rooms, breakout areas, workstations and pre-installed IT infrastructure. Home to established occupiers including Hiscox and Maven Capital Partners UK LLP, the building sits on West George Street, one of Glasgow’s most recognised business addresses, surrounded by a vibrant mix of restaurants and amenities, and just minutes on foot from both Glasgow Central and Queen Street stations.

Martin Speirs, Director at CBRE Scotland, said: “CVH Spirits’ move to Kintyre House is a clear statement of intent and the latest positive signal for Glasgow city centre. In a competitive market, businesses are being more selective about where and how they occupy space, and Kintyre House offers the quality, efficiency and profile that forward-looking companies are seeking. We were pleased to advise L&G in securing a strong occupier in CVH Spirits for the building.”

Will Kelly, Senior Asset Manager at L&G, said: “We are pleased to welcome CVH Spirits to Kintyre House. Their decision to relocate to the building reflects the strength of the recent refurbishment and the continued appeal of high-quality, well-located office space in the heart of Glasgow.

“Securing a business of this calibre reinforces our confidence in the asset and in the city centre market. We remain committed to investing in our portfolio to ensure it meets the expectations of modern occupiers and supports long term performance.”

Ronan O’Rahilly, Chief Executive Officer at CVH Spirits, said: “Our move into the heart of Glasgow marks an important milestone for CVH Spirits and for the continued development of our world-renowned brands.

“There have been well-documented challenges across the whisky industry over the last 12 months, but we are taking a long-term view and continuing to invest with confidence. This new, refurbished city centre space gives our teams an environment that reflects our forward-thinking, commercially focused approach, commitment to the trade and our ambitions for growth.”

Kintyre House currently has two remaining high-quality, fully-fitted suites available ranging from 2,012 – 5,298 sq ft, providing ready to occupy space for incoming tenants. CBRE and Savills act as joint letting agents for the property.

Murray McDavid Dumbarton 60 Years Old ULTRA at Aberdeen Whisky Shop – Scotch Whisky News

Murray McDavid

Dumbarton 60 Years Old ULTRA

ABV: 42.3% 70 cL

ULTRA represents the pinnacle of Murray McDavid’s accomplishments and is its finest and most treasured collection of whisky. Bringing exceptional vintage Scotch whiskies created over decades, these ULTRA-aged whiskies have been matured in oak casks lying quietly in dark, atmospheric Victorian warehouses in Scotland – they are a true product of TIME. Whilst the busy world outside has rushed by, the precious spirit inside these casks has slowly and silently developed remarkable depth and beautiful flavours, that go far and beyond.

Introducing a single grain Scotch whisky from Dumbarton Distillery. This Lowland grain was distilled on the Christmas Day of 1964, and it was aged for 60 years before bottling, bringing an incredible concentration of gorgeous aromas flow with wild floral honey, baked lemon and spring orchard, leading to the richness of salted butter and mellow cloves. Gentle, soothing nutmeg coats your tounge, as rustic marmalade and hints of creamy chocolate linger on palate. Elegant, apple pastry and pear conclude this truly historic dram, distilled in a bygone era.

Bottled by Murray McDavid at natural cask strength, natural colour and no chill filtration. A true masterpiece of time. Limited to 200 bottles.

The Whisky Exchange ‘A Guide to Springbank’ – Scotch Whisky News

The Jewel of Campbeltown: Springbank

While there are many cult distilleries in Scotland, unknown to most drinkers but loved by their fans, there is one that surpasses the rest. Campbeltown’s 14th distillery, Springbank, was founded on the site of a previously illicit still, run by Archibald Mitchell. Three years after Archibald and his brother Hugh became partners at the nearby Rieclachan distillery, Archibald’s in-laws bought the site and Springbank was born.

Father’s Day 2026 | Bourbon Gifts! – American Whiskey News

NEW | Little Book Chapter 10 – “All The Wiser”

Chapter 10 doesn’t just celebrate a decade of boundary-pushing blending but captures the evolution of one of American whiskey’s most innovative makers. After years of chasing precision and “perfect” blends, Freddie shifted his philosophy for this release. “All The Wiser” reflects a more intuitive approach, one that embraces the unpredictability of blending and allows the whiskey itself to lead. The result is a whiskey that feels more discovered than past releases.

This year’s blend draws from a spectrum of aged expressions across The James B. Beam Distilling Co. portfolio, including components finished in sherry and toasted bourbon casks.

SRP: $159.99.

NEW | Booker’s Bourbon Batch #1 2026 – “The Big Easy Batch”

The first Booker’s Bourbon Batch of 2026 is inspired by one of Booker Noe’s favorite cities in the world: New Orleans. It pays homage to a place Booker returned to time and again – for the food, the people, and the unforgettable flavors that stayed with him long after each visit.

This Batch is made up of five separate production dates and were stored in five different storage warehouses. The age is 7 years, 2 months and 15 days and bottled at a bold 129.1 proof. The result is a bourbon that’s big and unmistakably Booker’s, with aromas of vanilla and spice, a warm and robust palate, and a long, lingering finish.

SRP: $99.99.

TRIED & TRUE | Baker’s 13-Year-Old Bourbon

Baker’s 13-Year-Old Bourbon is named for Baker Beam, the truck-driving, motorcycle-riding, grandnephew of the legendary Jim Beam. With each bottle from a single barrel, Baker’s 13-Year-Old is unapologetically individual, like the man it was named for.

This liquid is distilled to a 107 proof and barreled and aged for a minimum of 13 years.

SRP: $149.99.
