Isle of Raasay Distillery has announced the appointment of GHF as its UK distribution and brand development partner, marking a significant step in the Hebridean producer’s expansion strategy across both on-trade and off-trade channels.
The agreement will see GHF oversee sales, distribution and trade marketing for the distillery’s single malt Scotch whisky, alongside Feragaia 0.0%, the Scottish non-alcoholic spirit acquired by R&B Distillers in November 2025 as part of its Scotland’s New Wave Spirits portfolio. The partnership spans independent retail, premium grocers and hospitality venues nationwide.
The move signals a new phase of growth for both brands, with ambitions to double UK revenue in the near term. While Isle of Raasay and Feragaia have already built a strong following in Scotland, the focus will now shift towards increasing visibility and securing listings in key accounts across London and the South of England.
William Dobbie, Managing Director of R&B Distillers, said: “As we look to increase our distribution and brand awareness beyond Scotland, where we have built a solid foundation, GHF’s relationships across the most influential venues and retailers in the UK make them the right partner for this next chapter. Their track record of building premium drinks brands with credibility speaks for itself. We look forward to getting started with them as our focused partner on the trade channel.”
GHF will work closely with R&B Distillers to deliver on objectives including account management, expanded distribution and in-venue activation, helping to position both Raasay and Feragaia in high-profile outlets.
Tristram Coates, Founder and CEO of GHF, added: “Raasay is one of the most compelling stories in Scotch whisky, a true island single malt with genuine provenance and a quality of liquid that stands up in any company. Feragaia is equally distinctive, offering a genuinely grown-up, uncompromising approach to the non alcoholic category.
“Our role is to bring focus and executional intensity to the growth of both brands in the UK, placing them in the right venues and retailers at the right time. London’s most iconic outlets are where reputations are made, and that is exactly where this portfolio belongs.”
