Jag undrar hur lång tid det ska ta innan erbjudanden går ut, och när första dropparna destilleras. Väntar man på någonting gott...........

Jag ser verkligen fram emot att se destilleriet komma igång. Hoppas på att kunna boka in sig på ett fat

"Trist det blir nog ingen ny Islaywhisky"
Jodå, det blir det säkert. Det mesta är ju på plats, men det verkar kunna ta sin tid innan de sista småsakerna blir fixade. Samma förhållande gäller för det destilleri som min sagesman bygger. Det skulle egentligen varit igång nu, men lite rör här, lite kabel där som fattas plus besiktningar och tillstånd gör processen lite seg.
Jämför med de två år det tog att få igång Tullibardine:
"""""
Still game after a slow start to life as distillery chiefs
JOHN GIBSON
WHILE a week is a long time in politics, six months can be an incredibly short time in the whisky business.
Two years ago Doug Ross and Mike Beamish were lunching in the Royal Burgess golf club in west Edinburgh when they heard they had clinched a virtually redundant distillery for £10 million.
However, it wasn't until six months ago that they finally managed to get the show on the road with their purchase, the cost of which is undisclosed.
But they've done it.
Mr Beamish, 48, who took a business degree at Edinburgh University, and Mr Ross, 42, with a similar qualification from Heriot-Watt University, will have their Tullibardine investment at Perthshire village Blackford, near Gleneagles, producing 120,000 litres of alcohol by the end of this year.
Mr Ross, like his co-director, is for keeping everything in proportion.
"While 120,000 litres sounds a lot, when taken into context it represents half a day's production at, say, the North British Distillery.
"In addition to our range of whisky expressions we are introducing our own ale - the only true whisky ale in the world produced using the distillery's own water, yeast and whisky casks."
He says that will involve a drink that is seven per cent alcohol, served in half-litre bottles, with limited production for specialist situations. And it has the backing of ale advocacy group CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale), which Mr Ross says is "enthusiastic".
He says there was "a fair amount of scepticism" within the business community when he and Mr Beamish touted their takeover of the bombed-out distillery. "People wondered if we'd actually manage to get it up and running," says Mr Beamish. "Well, it has all happened.
"Some six months ago this was little more than a project, now it's a business and financially everything is working out to our satisfaction - and to the satisfaction of our bankers."
Mr Ross is equally upbeat. "Barclays are comfortable with us. We're on budget and they're still very supportive."
Edinburgh property company Kenmore bought a 55,000sq ft slice of the six-acre site the pair leased from neighbouring Highland Spring to carry out some retail development. And Baxters of Speyside took up 28,000sq ft, where soup queen Audrey Baxter is planning to launch her latest outlet on August 8.
Edinburgh mountaineering and camping specialist Graham Tiso, which snapped up 5000sq ft of the site, is already in business.
Messrs Beamish and Ross have not let the bracing Perthshire air go to their heads.
Their enterprise and industry over the winter has produced their own quality visitors centre shop, a stylish restaurant and conducted tours of the distillery, complete with a contemporary "nosing" facility.
Says Mr Ross: "We've paid particular attention to the tours, restricting them to a well-honed 20 minutes, compared with the traditional equivalent.
"Generally tours dragged for up to an hour - some still do - and visitors can absorb only so much of the technical stuff.
"With the co-operation of the Scotch Whisky Heritage Centre up by the Castle we'll start running tour buses from the Esplanade. By the end of this year we'll be the most-visited distillery in Scotland, no question."
FOR all their job satisfaction this far, the two likely Lowland lads who put their lot into the born-again Tullibardine are essentially feet-on-the-ground.
"We are a niche distillery, and that's our strategy," they declare. "Ten years hence we'll still be a modest volume operator. We have a staff of 21, including ourselves. We are lean and mean and tight, marketing our brand in the UK and abroad. We are a deli on the High Street."
But something of a class act nonetheless.

PS En tur på gärdena i Kingdom of Fife gav vid handen att inte minsta spadtag gjorts vid platsen för Ladybank.

Läste på whiskyspot om att de kommer att sälja fat för finansiering.
I första hand till de investerare som var med initialt.
Vet någon om hur många de är?
De måste väl sälja fat även till andra för om de bara säljer till investerarna så blir det inte mycket klirr i kassan.
Var någon där och hälsade på och talade med dem?
En som är mycket intresserad av fat
