The Strong Water Co. is an independent wine merchant and spirits retailer in Banchory, with a specialist Ballater whisky shop in the heart of Royal Deeside. Founded by brothers Guy and Mungo Finlayson, we are driven by a passion for exceptional products and a constant search for new flavours.
We curate a distinctive range of Scotch whisky, fine wine, craft beer, premium spirits and cigars, sourcing character-driven bottles from respected producers across Scotland and beyond. From single malt Scotch whisky to small-batch gin and artisan wines, our selection is built around quality, provenance and flavour.
Visit our shops at 78 High Street, Banchory and 2 Bridge Street, Ballater to explore our in-store range, including our dedicated whisky tasting room in Ballater. Whether you’re discovering something new or searching for a specific bottle, our team offers expert advice and a personal service.

Whether you’re local to Royal Deeside or ordering from further afield, The Strong Water Co. provides specialist knowledge, carefully selected bottles and reliable nationwide shipping from our Banchory and Ballater shops.
After many years researching other subscriptions we consistently felt that there were some bottles in every delivery that just didn't cut the mustard.
