QuoteScotland's 'oldest' whisky distillery has been put up for sale by the owners of the Macallan and Grouse brands. The Glenturret, which is Scotland's oldest Single Malt Scotch Whisky distillery, and includes the visitor centre for The Famous Grouse, will go on sale this summer with all 31 employees at the distilling site at Crieff set to transfer to a new owner.
Current owners Edrington are expecting a lot of interest prospective purchasers as they look to sell both the distillery and the Cutty Sark Blended Scotch Whisky brand. Cutty Sark is blended and bottled at Edrington's Great Western Road facility, accounting for around 10 per cent of volume output at the site. Graham Hutcheon, Group Operations Managing Director, said the impact can be managed over time, adding: "Our intention is to offer blending and bottling facilities to a new owner. If that should not prove appropriate we do not anticipate any compulsory redundancies and would endeavour to redirect our people to the dynamic premium developments at Great Western Road."
The group is looking to dispose of its Cutty Sark rum and Glenturret whisky brands to be able to increase its focus on its key products which also include Highland Park, The Glenrothes and Brugal Rum.
Yeah, all very well - but what do we sell after we have drunk all the stock?
Collectible bottles?
...our bodies?
....we're doomed then.
Rat-arsed, but doomed.
We could buy the distillery and open an AA clinic next door. That way we wouldn't have to drive back and forth. O0
^Good thinking that man. Here, have a promotion!
Nix the AA and make it a game store with a private boardgaming VIP whiskey room in the back.

This....is not a terrible idea.
A game store, bar, and "private room".
Hell, I'm in.
If only I hadn't already bought a house in California, I'd be all over this.
About the only thing better than a nice glass of scotch is a nice handful of bewbs. Maybe. Depends on the scotch.

Well I meant private room for the gaming, but hell, why not.
STRIPPERS ARE GAMING!!! Or are they 'wildlife'? I forget.
Wildlife until you catch one, then they are gaming.
I can live with that. O0
