The brand is owned by leading Indian whisky producer Tilaknager Industries, which makes Indian made foreign liquor (IMFL) and is a major player in the sub continent’s drinks industry. It owns brands such as Senate Royal whisky, Mansion House brands and Madira XXX rum.

The company says Seven Islands Vintage’ has been created exclusively by Ryan50 Scotland, in “strategic association with The Ben Riach Distillery in Scotland”. It will be marketed by Ryan50 in the UK, followed by the introduction of Seven Islands by Tilaknagar in India.

Sanjay S Dash, director – marketing and sales, Ryan50 Scotland said, “This launch is only the first in a series of international launches of ‘Seven Islands Vintage’ in fashion capitals of the world - Mumbai, Milan and Paris.”

Ryan50 is variously described as a “multi-faceted company in the luxury and lifestyle industry”.
