La Maison Du Whisky was founded in 1956 by Georges Bénitah, and is known as one of the  largest French specialists in the importation and distribution of rare, specialty whiskies. Their comprehensive portfolio is comprised of 2500 whiskies and spirits. 

As a leader in this sector, they expanded their business into selecting and developing exclusive whisky bottlings from select casks of distilleries and independent bottlers. This unheralded growth into the premium whiskies and national distribution, has contributed to the evolution of France’s love of whisky.  Georges Benitah was one of the first to import Scottish whiskies into France. 

Today his son Thierry Bénitah, is at the helm of this thriving enterprise. His greatest contribution and talent is for unearthing rare products and discovering forgotten treasures, such as the now popular Nikka Whisky distilleries. The high standards, wisdom and savoir faire contributes to La Maison du Whisky’s continued pursuit of excellence in searching the globe to discover gems in the world of whisky and spirits. There are no boundaries that limit the enthusiasm of LMDW's goal to be a leader in the world of premium whisky and spirits distribution.
