The Viscount biscuit was first introduced in the 1950s by Peek Freans, a British biscuit company.

Today, the Viscount biscuit is produced by Burton's Biscuit Company, who acquired the brand from Peek Freans in the 1980s.

The orange flavoured Viscount was introduced later and features an orange cream filling, also encased in a layer of milk chocolate.
