Welcome

We deal directly with many producers throughout the world, and list individual wines of character, varying from good value everyday wines to some of the most impressive top quality estates in the world.

The company distributes a wide range of fine wines, whiskies and spirits (including many unusual imported varieties) to all sections of the licensed trade, and to many private and corporate customers. We supply many of the top hotels, restaurants, and style bars in central Scotland.

We have the most impressive list in Scotland of premium imported whiskies, vodkas, flavoured vodkas, gins, tequilas, cachacas, liqueurs, rums, bitters, and syrups, including many exotic brands, and we are able to source other unusual drinks.

Duncan Smith has recently won awards for his outstanding contribution to the drinks industry: the Skyy Cocktail Oscars for 2007, and also the Theme Magazine 2007 award.

    our history

    Laurence Smith & Son was established in 1883 by the grandfather of the present owner, and nowadays a fourth generation of the Smith family (Duncan) runs the business.

    The company is a founder member of the Merchant Vintners Company, a UK-wide consortium of independent wine merchants, whose combined strength allows the sharing of knowledge, expertise, and buying power.
