Chris Scullion and Christian Morrish, now known as purveyors of fine booze and bad influences, met in Bath in late 2011, with a shared passion for premium mixed drinks and specialist spirits combined with an inability to find a place that sold what they wanted. This started the train of thought that evolved to become Independent Spirit of Bath.
