About Us

Independent and family owned, Lombard has a family history in the drinks business stretching back almost 300 years.  Aside from Scotch Whisky, the family have had ownership of vineyards in France, cork factories in Portugal and breweries in England.  The brewery business initiated the family involvement with whisky, when brewers bottled Whisky in addition to producing Beer.

Lombard Scotch Whisky was established in the 1960s when the company began to lay down fillings at the distilleries and hold, mature and bottle from its own stocks. Lombard entered the market as suppliers of bulk whisky to blenders. Administration was established on the Isle of Man (an old Scottish isle between Ireland and Scotland) and a stock base was developed. The 1990s witnessed the malt whisky category develop and Lombard diversify their interests to the cased goods market - the company’s first move to control the utilisation of mature stock.
