ABOUT US
Established in 1978, Amathus Drinks Plc is a family-owned drinks importer, distributor and specialist retailer
Our mission is simple: to provide first-class products and services to our customers in the on-trade and specialist retail sectors, as well as direct to consumers. Our retail stores are located in vibrant and cosmopolitan areas of London, Bath and Brighton, where all our staff are highly trained in wine and spirits and happy to use their expertise to advise and assist you.
Our services include exclusive events, masterclasses, free local delivery, and a click-and-collect option on our revamped website to enhance your shopping experience. For the on-trade, our purchasing and account teams enjoy excellent and long-standing relationships with Michelin-starred restaurants, five-star hotels, select city bars and clubs and country gastropubs. We also supply increasing numbers of independent retail outlets with our growing wine collection and renowned spirits brands.
All areas of the business are supported by our colleagues in logistics, a modern delivery fleet and a warehousing system which enables us to deliver to the majority of England and Wales.
In addition to supplying a comprehensive range of global brands, Amathus prides itself on the exclusive portfolio it continues to meticulously source from all corners of the world. Over four decades, we have sought unique products selected on the criteria of provenance, distinction and, more than anything else, exceptional quality.
This is our real point of difference – a wide range of exclusive brands, expertly sourced. Our whisky selection includes a wide selection from Burgundy's Michel Couvreur, a few from Denmark's Copenhagen Distillery and Sweden’s Spirit of Hven, Japan’s Matsui and Kurayoshi, and (a little closer to home) The English Whisky Company, based in Norfolk. We import Cognacs and Armagnacs from renowned producers such as Francois Voyer, Pierre Vaudon and Chateau de Laubade. Then some are a little more niche, such as Linie’s aquavit and old-school genever from Amsterdam’s Van Wees, before we even mention the Mezcals and Tequilas of Los Danzantes, Alipus and Calle 23 and Tequila Komos.
Equally diverse is our wine portfolio, which has grown exponentially over the past two years. It is meticulously sourced by our in-house Master of Wine, Jeremy Lithgow. Our wines cover diverse countries and styles and include award-winning producers such as Chablis’s Domaine Gueguen, Australia’s Penley Estate, Elk Cove from the USA, and Chile’s De Gras. With Artemis Karamolegos, Chateau Carras and Tsiakkas, paying tribute to our Hellenic roots. Our ever-growing range of premium sparkling wines now includes Champagnes from Champagne Lallier and Champagne A. Bergère and English sparkling wines from Fox & Fox. In addition, we have an exclusively imported beer selection, such as Cusquena, Coedo, Septem, and Fix. We are particularly excited about our recent sake additions, including Japan’s Shichiken and Kanpai from no further away than Peckham!
With all this in mind, we look forward to the future with more excitement than ever as we continue our four-decade odyssey of bringing Drinks to the World.
Best wishes
