About

A well rounded professional with a solid finance background: starting as a trader and portfolio manager, I decided to follow a passion and change career path: I founded my own company specialising in selecting and bottling single casks of Scotch Whisky, rum, Cognac and Armagnac. We're now distributed in 21 countries and we're looking for international distributors to expand our reach throughout Asia.
