History and operations
Founder Dougal Sharp was born in Aberdeen in June 1972. He was raised in Elgin, Moray, before moving to Edinburgh aged 14. The Innis part of the Innis & Gunn name is derived from the middle names of both Sharp and his brother.[2] Sharp's career in alcoholic drinks began at Edinburgh’s Caledonian Brewery, with his father having led the management buy-out of the company in 1987.[3] Sharp founded Innis & Gunn in 2003.
