In 1884 Lionello Stock and his partner Carlo Camis founded the steam wine distillery "Distilleria a vapore Camis & Stock". His company's main product was cognac "Medicinal", which competed with French alternatives in the Austro-Hungarian monarchy and German Empire territory. By the 1920s the Stock company was one of the largest companies of its kind in Europe. In 1920, after Austro-Hungarian monarchy collapsed, Stock bought a distillery factory at Plzeň Božkov (in the then Czechoslovakia).

In 2007 Oaktree Capital Management acquired Polmos Lublin in 2006 and merged it with Eckes & Stock, to create Stock Spirits Group in 2008.[5] The company was the subject of an initial public offering in October 2013.[6]
On 12 August 2021, Stock Spirits' board of directors accepted a £767 million takeover bid by private equity firm CVC Advisers, whereby shareholders would receive 377p per share.[7] The deal was completed in November 2021.[8]
