1815 The business adopted the date of the distillery's establishment as its own, though it only passed into the hands of Moses Risk around 1860.[1]According to the company's prospectus the wine and spirit and agency business conducted at Dundas Street and Cathedral Street was established about 12 years prior to incorporation.

1894 Moses Risk and Sons Limited was incorporated as a public company, with capital of £50.000, to acquire and continue the business of distillers and maltsters at Provanmill, and also that of wholesale wine and spirit dealers and agents, previously carried on by Moses Risk and Sons.[2]
