The Drinks Bakery: artisan savoury biscuits to pair with drinks

The Drinks Bakery is a Scottish company dedicated to making artisan savoury biscuits, known as Drinks Biscuits, whose flavour profile is specifically designed to accompany and enhance the character of drinks such as craft beer, whisky, gin, wine and champagne. The company makes its biscuits by hand in the Scottish Highlands and presents itself as award-winning, with an appearance on the BBC programme Dragons' Den in 2018.

Origins and history

The company's story goes back to 1976, when founder Andy Murray — who shares his name with the tennis player — took a family campervan trip across Europe. As the company itself recounts, his parents, both food lovers, paired every aperitif with whatever the locals were eating, instilling an appreciation for matching local flavours with drinks. Decades later, observing the rise of craft drinks over the past twenty years and how little the snack market had changed, Andy Murray founded The Drinks Bakery to bring that family tradition to today's market.

Products

The company's range includes several varieties of savoury biscuits, among them:

• Italian Cheese & Sweet Basil Drinks Biscuits
• Lancashire Cheese & Spring Onion Drinks Biscuits
• Mature Cheddar & Smoked Chilli Drinks Biscuits

The company also sells a gift set called The Discerning Drinker's Gift Set. The products come in various sizes, with prices starting at £18.00 for the biscuits and £12.95 for the gift set, according to the information on the website reviewed.

Production and awards

The biscuits are made by hand in the Scottish Highlands, an aspect the company highlights as essential to its identity and to product quality. The company mentions having won awards and having appeared on the BBC programme Dragons' Den in 2018, where its founder presented the project.
