M.S. Walker
About
M.S. Walker is a Boston wine and spirits company that imports, distributes, bottles and markets beverages for bars, restaurants and retailers across the Northeast. Its portfolio ranges from local craft distillers to multinational brands, along with brands it owns and bottles itself. The company also acts as a national supplier, rolling out domestic and international wine and spirit brands through a network of brokers and wholesalers across the country.
The business traces back to 1929, when Maurice S. Walker expanded his local pharmaceutical business into flavorings, extracts and syrups. Incorporated in 1931 and first based in the South End, the company moved into producing and distributing alcoholic beverages after Prohibition ended in 1933. It entered fine wine distribution during the wine boom of the 1960s and 1970s, and it now operates a new production and bottling facility in Boston.
