The current iteration of J.G. Thomson & Co was established in 2017 by The Artisanal Spirits Company, the owner of the Scotch Malt Whisky Society. The SMWS venue at The Vaults in Leith was the original J.G. Thomson & Co premises. Although primarily a whisky company, it also bottles gin and rum.
A historic name, the original company was founded back in 1709 and is currently on its second revival, the first coming in 1983 by Tennent Caledonian Breweries who operated it as a wine and spirits wholesaler in Glasgow.
