Scottish alcohol-free spirit brand Feragaia has received a majority investment from luxury goods group Chanrossa, which also owns Isle of Raasay Distillery, as part of plans to grow its New Wave Spirits portfolio. The deal brings Feragaia into Chanrossa’s spirits & drinks business, R&B Distillers, and beside the award-winning single malt and gin brand.
Feragaia, founded in 2019 by Jamie Wild and Bill Garnock, say the investment will support the ambition to scale its 0.0% ABV production and expand its global reach in the no- and low-alcohol category, while furthering its mission to ‘elevate no and low drinking experiences’.
“According to IWSR, 82% of people who drink alcohol-free spirits also enjoy alcoholic drinks, yet there’s still a perception that non-alcoholic options are only for non-drinkers,” says Bill Garnock, co-founder of Feragaia. “Feragaia was created to challenge that divide and prove that choosing not to drink alcohol doesn’t mean compromising on flavour or experience. Partnering with Chanrossa allows us to take that message further, scale sustainably, and share Scotland’s Free Spirit with a global audience.”
“This partnership allows us to scale sustainably and share Scotland’s Free Spirit with a global audience,” said co-founder Bill Garnock.
Feragaia remains distributed in the UK by CASK Liquid Marketing until January 2026.
