June is also a critical time for the project and it is fair to say there is a lot of activity brewing at the site. During this month the long-awaited vessels shall make their grand entrance, poised to take their rightful place within the distillery’s Scandinavian long-house envelope. Yet, before the vessels can be installed, the floor must be poured and cured. A flurry of efforts is underway, ensuring this deck is primed to support the grandeur of the copper and steel behemoths.

Though the building now stands watertight and defiant against the elements, its true splendour remains veiled, awaiting the final flourish – the magnificent Kalzip cladding. A harmonious blend of copper and bronze, we hope this resplendent sheathing brings a new elegance to the distillery’s form, crowning a new jewel nestled within the valley.
