Wilson & Morgan, an independent whisky bottler from Italy, has been known since 1992 for offering a fine selection of rare Scotch malt whiskies. The company specializes in single malts that age between 10 and 30 years, sometimes further matured in port, rum, or Marsala casks. These meticulously selected malts are then distributed globally to discerning consumers, including in select outlets, Michelin-starred restaurants, and wine and gourmet shops.

The history of Wilson & Morgan is closely linked with the Venetian Rossi family. In the 1920s, Giuseppe Rossi, a wine and oil merchant and grandfather of today's chairman Fabio Rossi, moved his residence from Venice to Treviso. After World War II, his son Mario expanded the business and began importing whisky from Scotland in the 1960s. Initially, predominantly blended whiskies were introduced until the demand for more sophisticated taste profiles led to the introduction of single malts.

Wilson & Morgan is known for the careful selection and personal inspection of each cask by Fabio Rossi, who mastered the art of winemaking in Conegliano. This precision and trust in one's own palate make Wilson & Morgan a particularly excellent choice for lovers of fine and rare single malts.
