In 1971, Sukhinder and Rajbir Singh's parents were the first Asians in the United Kingdom who were granted a liquor license. They then opened a liquor store in northwest London. Sukhinder began collecting bottles from his parents' store, and by 1990, he had one of the largest collections of whiskey in the world. This knowledge about whiskey would help him in his later ventures.
In 1999, Sukhinder and Rabjir created The Whiskey Exchange, one of the world's largest drink retailers. By 2002, Sukhinder had bottled his first cask of whiskey: The Single Malts of Scotland. By 2011, he had added three more brands: The Elements of Islay, Port Askaig, and Black Tot. Through the years, the two brothers grew their company, as well as their knowledge about their craft.
2017 brought a name change to the company created by the Singh brothers. Where it had been known as Specialty Drinks, it was now known as Elixir Distillers. Two years later, Elixir Distillers released their first original blended rum; in 2021, Elixir launched a fresh bottle of Highland Nectar.
