About DGM Beverages
The roots of DGM Beverages Limited trace back to Duncan, Gilbey & Matheson (Zambia) Ltd, a renowned London based spirits blending and export company with a strong presence in East and Central Africa.
Established in 1957 in the United Kingdom, Duncan, Gilbey & Matheson (Zambia) Ltd partnered with East African Distillers in 1963 to provide technical expertise and expand operations into the region.
By 1966, the legacy reached Zambia with the incorporation of Duncan, Gilbey & Matheson (Zambia) Ltd, introducing a rich portfolio of internationally recognized spirits. The company became known for its Glenmark range of blended whiskies, including Rare Old Scotch Whisky, Special Reserve, and aged 3 to12 year-old variants, as well as its popular Queen Elizabeth London Dry Gin. It was also known for its iconic Lavelle and Old Tree Brandies.
In 2021, this iconic Zambian operation entered a bold new chapter when it was acquired by a wholly Zambian-owned entity and rebranded as DGM Beverages Limited (DGM). While the name evolved, the commitment to premium craftsmanship and blending excellence remained unchanged. Today, DGM proudly carries forward the tradition of producing top-tier spirits while innovating for the future with fresh blends tailored to modern tastes.
