Berry Bros & Rudd

Berry Bros & Rudd is Britain’s oldest wine and spirits merchant, trading from the same premises on London’s St James’s Street since 1698 and holder of royal warrants across its long history. It does not distil: its spirits arm selects casks from distilleries across Scotland and the wider spirits world and bottles them under its own labels, alongside a deep wine list built over three centuries.The selection philosophy favours balance and drinkability over novelty, choosing single casks and small blends that show a distillery at its most poised rather than its most extreme. From single-malt Scotch to rum and its own blended ranges, the house style is understated and true to source. A merchant’s picks for drinkers who trust a careful, long-established eye.
