About The Artisanal Spirits Company

ASC's purpose is to captivate a global community of whisky adventurers,
creating and selling outstanding, limited-edition whiskies and experiences
around the world with an ambition to create a high quality, highly profitable
and cash generative, premium global business.

Based in Edinburgh, ASC owns The Scotch Malt Whisky Society (SMWS), Single
Cask Nation (SCN) and J.G. Thomson (JGT). Owning over 17,000 casks primarily
comprising Single Malt Scotch Whisky, ASC's stock includes outstanding whisky
(and other spirits) from 150 different distilleries across 20 countries which
is sold to members both as individual bottles and whole casks.

With an established global presence in some 30 countries, SMWS operates a
direct-to-consumer model (90% of revenue) primarily through e-commerce, in
addition to four member rooms in the UK. SMWS provides members with inspiring
experiences, content and exclusive access to a vast and unique range of
outstanding, expertly curated Scotch malt and other whiskies.

In January 2024, ASC acquired SCN which sources, curates and bottles
single-cask whiskies and other spirits selling both online and via traditional
retail channels to its following of over 10,000 whisky enthusiasts in the USA.
SCN also retails to key international whisky markets around the world.

Launched in the UK in late 2021, JGT has a focus on outstanding small batch
blended malt whiskies and other spirits, available both through
direct-to-consumer online sales and through traditional retail channels. The
award-winning brand has subsequently expanded into international markets.

With proven e-commerce reach and a growing family of brands, ASC is building a
portfolio of limited-edition and small-batch whisky and other spirits brands
for a global movement of discerning consumers - delivering revenue of £23.5
million in FY23, predominantly from outside the UK, with an expanding presence
in the other key global whisky markets including USA, China, Europe, Japan,
Australia and Taiwan.

ASC has a pioneering business model, a substantial and growing addressable
market presenting a long-term global opportunity and a strong and resilient
business primed to deliver growth.
