History

The roots of Stock Spirits Group USA, Inc. go back to 1946 when Bruno Morel, Lionello Stock’s nephew, moved to New York to set up Distillerie Stock USA. Driven by the mission ‘to bring the fruits of Italy’s finest liqueurs, spirits and wines to America’, Bruno built the company up to be a leading importer of quality drinks.

Between 1946 and 2007 the company grew to offer an unsurpassed portfolio of established and modern classics; everything from the sophisticated Stock ’84 V.S.O.P brandy to the award winning triple orange liqueur, GranGala.

In 2007 the company was bought by Oaktree Capital Management, a private equity firm with in excess of $58 billion in assets under management (at June 2008), and consolidated under Heritage Brands, Inc. and then changed to Stock Spirits Group USA, Inc. and which was founded a few months earlier to provide strategic mission, vision and direction. Today, Stock Spirits Group USA, Inc. is busy maximizing the potential of the existing portfolio and creating a jewelry box of luxury spirits designed to serve the needs and tastes of America’s affluent consumer demographic.
