New Scotch Distilleries Opening This year

[Terry Searl]

That was going to be my contention.... That while it may be great that new distilleries are starting up, it may be a good 10-12 years minimum before we actually get to enjoy any of what they have to offer. ;-)

New businesses really do need a cash flow when they start up....Shelter point was making flavoured Vodka's to get their cash flow......With China buying up all the stocks of aged single malts without regard to costs some of the older distilleries are coming up with fairly ingenius marketing methods to promote their 8 year old stock and selling them at prices we are more likely able to afford. Those 8 year olds likely would have been kept for another 2 or 4 years to give it the aging we have grown accustomed to........China's nouveau rich really are changing the way of things that we thought we controlled and would have forever...... profits are profits no matter who the buyers are......... just my opinion though...
