Bengt L skrev:Fick ett trevligt brev från James på Ladybank.
Äntligen är allt pappersjobb klart och ett 50-års
kontrakt på anläggningen är signat.
I Juli sätter man i gång och förhoppningsvis
så kan jag visa lite trevliga bilder efter mitt
besök i höst (det tredje).

Nyss hemkommen från en weekend i Skottland. Besök på Bladnoch för att hämta Bladnoch forumwhisky men den egentliga anledningen var öppningsfesten vid Daftmill med visning av destilleriet och ett hejdundrande kalas på lördagskvällen. Daftmill har nu varit igång ett tag och har, trots den blygsamma produktionstakten av ca 120 liter om dagen, hunnit stoppa in en hel del fat i lagerhuset. Främst bourbonfat (Heaven Hill kunde man läsa). En ganska lätt och behagligt drickbar new spirit. Någon som en gång hade haft möjlighet att prova nytt destillat från salig Rosebank menade att det fanns påtagliga likheter.
Söndagsförmiddagen ägnades åt en vandring över fälten till platsen som valts för Ladybank. Ett trevligt läge vid en liten bäck med öring, en förfallen secret garden och byggnader stadda i olika grad av bristande underhåll och förfall. Boningshuset såg hyfsat ut och hade använts fram till helt nyligen. Francis, vår värd, blev lite nostalgisk - det här var hans ungdoms jaktmarker, som han hade många trevliga minnen från. En samlande bedömning: Det saknas inte objekt att göra av med högvis av pengar på för att få igång verksamhet här, men lyckas man få ihop dom kan det bli trevligt. På vägen hem stötte vi ihop med landägarens son, som bekräftade att kontraktet på 50 års arrende nu var undertecknat av båda parter. Det hade varit lite egendomliga turer från Ladybanks sida under vägen antydde han. De besked han fått nu var att byggnadsverksamheten skulle starta i början av denna vecka. Jag har lite bilder, som jag ska försöka göra allmänt tillgängliga så snart jag hinner.

För två år sen såg det ut så här på Ladybanks ägor och nu skall
man börja med att lägga om taken och fixa till de två byggnaderna
till vänster
och om ni besöker Edinburgh, som jag hoppas ni gör ofta, så måste ni
besöka Oxford bar där man kan smutta på en Glen Ord tillsammans
med ett par pint IPA
/Bengt
PS/ Glöm inte en underbar bar som ligger på Jamaica street(?) vid namn Kay's bar

Nu börjar det hända saker vid Ladybank. I veckan har man lyft av det gamla taket på byggnaden närmast ån och håller på att sätta upp nya takstolar. Fick ett klipp från en lokaltidning, dessvärre vet jag inte vilken:
SEEDS SOWN WITH WORK ON DISTILLERY NOW UNDER WAY
By Cheryl Wood
Construction has started on Scotland´s smallest distillery with the renovation of a farm steading in Fife. The whisky-making plant in Ladybank - expected to start production next spring or summer - will also be the country´s first private distillery. The exclusive Ladybank Company of Distillers Club, which will include a whisky-making school, already has almost 400 members worldwide.
It will have an annual production of 35,000 litres, compared with the bigger producers´more common capacity of one million litres.
Yesterday solid oak beams were lowered onto the roof of a dilapedated steading at Peterhead Farm in what founder James Thomson said was a ground-breaking day for the project, which was granted planning permission almost three years ago.
More than £2 million is being invested to renovate the buildings in two phases, with the distillery expected to be constructed and equipped in eight to 12 months.
Hospitality, including a function suite, tasting room and dining room, are expected to take a further year and landscaping of the surronding area will be carried out beyond then.
Mr Thomson said the distillery - which will primarily supply to its members but sell surplus to local hotelliers, specialist shops or at farmers markets - aimed to produce some of the worlds finest whisky.
He added, "We will be the closest distillery to St Andrews and we have a few members who like the odd round of golf. Wee will be the ultimate 19th hole."
Mr Thomson is behind two of the largest whisky clubs in the world, has developed whisky tours and events and in 2001 launched The Whisky School, of which Ladybank will be the permanent home.
At Ladybank yesterday he said, "We chose this site with its farm buildings, disused since the 1950s, as it had the potential to develop into a countryside haven for lovers of the finest spirits.
"In addition to being the first members-only distillery, Ladybank allows co-creation with its consumers, who will be able to influence and participate in production.
"It will also be the first distillery to concentrate on highly individual bespoke products only."
The site has been leased to the club for 50 years by Sir Robert Spencer-Nairn, who said, "I am delighted to see these buildings put back to good use."
It is expected the distillery, which will not be open to the general public, will produce a handful of jobs, and Mr Thomson said business would benefit from wealthy members visiting.
He said the membership had a strong contingent of successful Scots living in the south of England and overseas, including Singapore and New York, for whom he said investing in the distillery was like "buying a little piece of Scotland."
It is expected the first bottle of Ladybank single malt will be ready five to ten years after production begins.

Av de tolv månaderna som det skulle ta att få färdigt Ladybank är nu hälften gångna. Byggnadsarbetena förefaller att ha upphört efter att husen fått nya tak.
Inför ett medlemsmöte 10 april föreslår nu James Thomson att en ombildning till aktiebolag ska ske:
"We therefore propose to create a company with share capital, Ladybank Company of Distillers Ltd, within which our Founding Club Members will have an interest and which will better provide for the benefits that our members desire. The existing club (The Ladybank company of Distillers Club Limited) will assign (transfer) its lease to this company.
Members interests (ie the rights and benefits you paid for) will be enshrined in 10 shares (for each member) in the members class of shares ('A' shares) in this company (Ladybank Company of Distillers Limited). There will be no extra cost to you as these will be fully subscribed from a proportion of your membership fee.
Membership in a members club will also continue. The total share capital will ultimately be held at 70.87% between the (new) Club and Club Members. There will be a further 14.63% made available to outside investors, whilst 14.63% will be retained by the Founders. The new structure will provide for future profits to be distributed in dividends to our Members.
Ladybank Company of Distillers Limited will prove an attractive tax-efficient investment vehicle in the UK under the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS), where up to 40% of new equity investment can be offset against tax. This new company will have a non-member class of shares with preferences designed to be attractive to outside investors. As mentioned above, our Members will have first refusal on this opportunity."
För medlem som inte har möjllighet att närvara har Thomson varit vänlig att bifoga ett fullmaktsformulär där han själv utses att företräda medlemmen.
Vilka avsikterna med ombildningen till aktiebolag är får vi kanske reda på vad tiden lider, men det kan vara alltifrån att ragga mer pengar till att det är lättare att lyfta pengar ur ett aktiebolag.
