Rutland Square Spirits is a premium spirits brand fusing India’s tea heritage with Scotland’s distilling mastery. Founded in Edinburgh by Nishant Sharma, the brand marries the elegance of Scottish craftsmanship with the rich soul of Indian chai.
Its signature creation is the world’s first gin fused with white oolong chai tea from Assam — one of the rarest and most expensive teas in the world. By combining premium botanicals with the delicate warmth of chai spices and the complexity of fine tea, Rutland Square has created a truly unique spirit. Smooth, aromatic and versatile, it offers drinkers something they cannot find anywhere else: the authentic taste of East meets West in a glass.
Founder Nishant Sharma has become a recognised voice in the UK drinks industry. His journey has been profiled by the Financial Times, Sky News, The Scotsman and The Express, while his leadership has earned him nominations for the Great British Entrepreneur of the Year Award and recognition in 40 Under 40 lists. His story embodies the same ambition and originality that defines the brand.
Rutland Square Spirits has also been one of the fastest-growing challenger brands in the UK, achieving 500 per cent growth in the past year and reaching a valuation of £30 million. This success attracted Bollywood star and entrepreneur Vivek Oberoi, who recently acquired a 21 per cent stake in the company. His involvement brings global credibility and influence, underlining the brand’s growing international appeal.
MUST STOCK: With chai gin at its heart, Rutland Square Spirits offers a spirit unlike any other — premium, authentic, and culturally unique. For stockists, it represents a fast-growing brand with strong media visibility and star backing.
COMING SOON: Building on the success of its gin, Rutland Square is preparing to launch chai-spiced rum and premium whisky.
