2024September 2024 Update: Building Progress & Open Day Success. September proved to be another milestone month in our distillery's journey. Like every month this year, it was packed with significant developments and exciting progress.
Record-Breaking Open Day
The highlight of the month was undoubtedly our Open Day, which drew an incredible crowd of over 3,000 visitors to the site. Guests had the opportunity to explore our building and get a firsthand look at the progress we’ve made. While this year’s event was spectacular, we’re already looking forward to next year when visitors will be able to experience something even more special – tours through our fully operational distillery.
Construction Milestones
September saw several crucial construction developments:
– Completion of the main roof cladding (with only the gable end flashing and ridge work remaining)
– Installation of lightning protection and conductors throughout the building
– Significant progress on our copper stills, with the McMillan Coppersmiths team making exceptional headway
Team Developments
We’re delighted to welcome Paula Gaffney to our growing team. Additionally, our search for a distillery manager is well underway – stay tuned for an exciting announcement on this front!
Looking ahead, these developments are bringing us ever closer to our goal of creating a world-class distillery. We’re grateful for the continued support and interest from our community as we progress on this exciting journey.
