Hello. Welcome. Come on in.
We’re a new addition to the premium spirits market in the UK offering bottling and canning services to the growing drinks market - from craft gin start ups to established big brands.
We’ve created this website to tell you a little about us, why we get out of bed in the morning, and what we can offer you.

Who We Are
Who We Are
Across the country, the drinks industry is in great shape. From small start ups creating exciting gin, whisky, rum and vodka through to established brands branching out into new flavours and drink formats. There has been a veritable explosion of drinks being crafted across the country.
We are Contract Bottlers Glasgow, a new outfit on the scene. Forged by two old friends with a history in the food and drink industry in Scotland and who, from the comfort of our local pub, pondered what it would be like to help propel the industry to even greater heights.
Whenever we got together we often thought that there was a need for a professional outfit to take care of the ‘behind-the-scenes’ stuff that, while not sexy, is necessary in getting your precious liquid bottled or canned and ready for shipping. So...we took a leap of faith and started out on our own - to help those with a passion for creating the most amazing drinks, by bottling and canning your precious stuff so that you don’t have to.
We are based right here in Glasgow, ideally located to serve the whole of the drinks industry across the UK.

Capital Investment
We’ve invested heavily in state-of-the-art technology - bringing you the best equipment there is without you needing to invest. This
frees you up to focus on what your passion is - creating the perfect liquid expression and getting it ready to sell to the market quicker.
Capacity
We have built the first truly independently owned bottling and canning production site in Scotland designed specifically for the newly created craft and artisan spirits movement as well as the blossoming market for Blended and Single Malt Scotch Whisky. We bring you capacity when you need it most. This gives you
scalable production capacity that you can dial up or down to reflect your own production patterns.
Consistency
Our technologies ensure that what goes into your bottles and can is exactly as you intended. We offer unparalleled accuracy and consistency in the bottling process. This gives you
confidence
that each and every bottle or can filled is handled with love care and attention and will meet your exacting specification.
Insight
We will share valuable insights on what it takes to get your product out into the market. Having worked in the food and drink industry all our professional lives we will help guide you on the marketing of your brand in the UK on and off trade markets as well as undeveloped export opportunities. This
helps you step thoughtfully and knowledgeably through your product launch and the most effective ways to distribute your product.
