 Hankey
Bannister has one of the most colourful
histories in the whisky industry. Its
founders, the flamboyant Mr Beaumont
Hankey and his astute business partner
Mr Hugh Bannister, were the owners of a
prestigious wine and spirits merchants
with a history dating back to 1757.
Mr Beaumont Hankey was a man about town,
with his own superior aristocratic
connections, he was well aware of the
high standards expected by ladies and
gentlemen of quality when choosing
spirits. But Hankey was no good at
managing the practical side of the
business but his partner Mr Hugh
Bannister was a gentleman with a very
shrewd business sense coupled with an
industrious nature and wealth of
experience to boot.
And so it was that the two of them set
out together in the pursuit of a single
goal – that of providing the very finest
wines and spirits to the good people of
London.
Over the years word spread throughout
the Empire about Hankey Bannister and
their blended Scotch whiskies are still
enjoyed by people across the globe
today.
Hankey Bannister’s eponymous whisky is a
smooth and complex blend of premium
Scotch whiskies which were awarded royal
warrants under King George V and Edward
VII and were enjoyed by the likes of
Winston Churchill, the Prince Regent
William IV and the Dukes of Norfolk and
Queensberry. The founders’ legacy of
shared values, mutual respect and
complementary skills and experiences
continues to embody the brand to this
day.
