Just before the 1900s, Henry Ryst, supplied the great transatlantic liners leaving from Cherbourg, where he had his warehouse.
Much of the clientele of these ships were rich and very demanding with regards the quality of the products. From this period dates the first imports of major ports and whiskies that make our reputation today.
Every year, since now over 100 years, we go on site to Scotland and Portugal to select small productions of exceptional quality, which are then bottled locally under our brand. These products you can imagine, have nothing in common with mass produced alcohols...
Imported directly from Scotland, our Single Malt whiskies are top of the range whiskies selected from the best distilleries. Single malts aged for a minimum of 8 years in oak barrels. During all these years, they acquire more or less a blond colour, with their delicate aromas of great variety. As the ports, Captain Burn's whiskies come from a particularly rigorous selection and only the best years are kept to become vintage. It is this uncompromising quality that makes them one of the most recognized brands in France.
