Brothers driving The Whisky exchange

Sukhinder and Rajbir Singh were always fascinated by the single malt whiskies that occupied the top shelf of their parents’ off-licence. They are now the owners of the hugely successful Whisky Exchange, which has recently helped to organise the Old & Rare Whisky show in Glasgow.

As the brothers grew up they amassed a collection of more than 5,500 miniature single-malt bottles and sold it in the mid-1990s to a bar in Oslo, hatching a bigger plan: to launch their own high-end drinks business.

The Whisky Exchange has grown into a leading online spirits retailer. Speciality Drinks, its parent company, posted pre-tax profits of £12.2m on sales of £67.5m in the 12 months to the end of June last year. They employ 240 people at their base in Park royal, northwest London and in two central London shops. They also advise auction houses such as Sotheby's and Christie's on sales of rare whiskies.
