Idea
Introduction
Founded in 2018 by brothers Roddy and Kerr Nicoll, Spirits of Virtue makes healthier, lighter, exquisite non-alcoholic spirits for mindful drinkers worldwide. Handcrafted from the finest natural ingredients and unique highland spring water, our diverse range of premium whiskey, vodka, gin, rum and tequila alternatives are infused with innovation, creative vision and our bold sense of adventure.
A family business with a global footprint, today we produce 26 daring, delightful and adventurous flavours across seven brands. Designed to appeal to a wide demographic, all our alcohol-free spirits are low-calorie, low-sugar, vegan, gluten-free and Halal-certified.
From our manufacturing facility in Glasgow, we have sold over £3m since launching*, ship to 16 countries worldwide and manufacture a private label for a leading UK supermarket, as more people choose irresistible flavours, botanical ingredients and authentic experiences over the fleeting pleasure of alcohol.

Monetisation strategy
1. Branded: The sale of SoV’s own non-alc spirits brands is our core business and long-term focus. These products are sold to retailers, distributors and importers in the UK and internationally. With seven SoV brands and 26 flavour variants, we offer customers a comprehensive range of non-alcoholic spirits from one supplier.
2. Private Label: Some of the fastest growing retailers globally are disount chains such as Aldi and Lidl. Our private label brands, exclusively owned by us, present a significant opportunity to collaborate with these retailers without devaluing our core brands. We’ve previously sold into these retailers as ‘special buys’ and we’re in active discussions regarding a permanent listing.
3. Own Label: Manufacturing products for retailers under their own brand such as ‘Asda Extra Special’ has become a key strategy since investing in our own manufacturing facility. It allows us to build strong relations as well as increase market share.

Use of proceeds
Over the next 12 months we aim to increase our revenues further. Based on this, around 90% of the funds raised will support working capital as Spirits of Virtue moves through this exciting growth phase.
Approximately 10% will allocated to capex to further improve our manufacturing facility. This will facilitate our move from SALSA accreditation to full BRC accreditation.
