Esquin Imports was founded in 1951 as a wine négociant, importer, distributor, and retailer, and was located in San Francisco, California. The company was owned by Kenneth Kew, who later merged it with Draper Wine Merchants to form Draper & Esquin in 1976. The original company was eventually dissolved in 1994 but its name was later briefly revived.
The original Esquin Imports also dealt with whisky, and were notable as agents for Averys of Bristol and Gordon & MacPhail in the 1960s, importing brands such as Macallan, Glenfarclas and Avonside.
