The Whisky Exchange was founded in 1999 by Sukhinder and Rajbir Singh and is based in the UK. It has a catalogue of circa 10,000 products, making it one of the biggest online retailers of spirits.
As well as a successful online service the company also has three luxury retail stores in London, and it is also active in private sales and online auctions of rare spirits.
The Whisky Exchange will continue to operate with its current team and structure, with Sukhinder and Rajbir Singh managing the business as joint managing directors.
