Well, if You were very rich and wanted to buy a distllery...Which one?

by **TheLaddie** » Sun Dec 31, 2006 2:34 pm

Bruichladdich. I like the direction they are taking, I like the people involved and I love the whisky.

It is a growing concern with ambitious expansion plans.

Best of all, they already have my name on the bottles!

A closed one, and reopen it! Rosebank, if it was possible (it's not). Port Ellen. Brora. Blackwoods. :wink:

by **Deactivated Member** » Sun Dec 31, 2006 3:26 pm

One that were for sale.

by **Frodo** » Sun Dec 31, 2006 4:45 pm

Laphroaig. Thier whiskies are underpriced, and I could make a mint!

by **Spirit of Islay** » Sun Dec 31, 2006 6:01 pm

Wonder which one i voted for ? :wink:

I'd re-instate the floor maltings to start with.....

by **vitara7** » Sun Dec 31, 2006 6:43 pm

id buy every one of the flats at st mags, kick all the posh twats out, and start from scratch again there.

by **Lawrence** » Sun Dec 31, 2006 6:59 pm

Imperial, it has huge potential.

by **Mustardhead** » Sun Dec 31, 2006 7:17 pm

Glenmorangie just so I could drink my way through the old casks

For something vaguely interesting, Pittyvaich or Imperial?

Ideally I'd like to see North Port going again.

by **Ardbeg311** » Sun Dec 31, 2006 7:24 pm

I might buy Lagavulin and introduce an 8yo (no age statement) at 48%.

Not to mention huge stills! I too would choose either Imperial or it's sister distillery, Dailuaine that's just on the other side of the River Spey. The awesomely beautiful countryside surrounding these 2 distilleries is a bonus!

Cheers!

What did you have in mind?

I think I'd have to make more of the motto Clachan a Choin. It just makes me wet myself when I hear they gave a flag with this motto on to Mer Majesty. :lol:

No offence to the man himself, but I can't see the name attracting me to drink the brand...

by **les taylor** » Mon Jan 01, 2007 10:50 am

Oh I don't know just try a Mustardhead Blacker still or mustardhead links, or Mustardhead MC5 it definitely works for me. :wink:

by **Mustardhead** » Mon Jan 01, 2007 12:11 pm

Thank you Mr TattieHead

My very own distillery! :shock:

I must admit that I thought Mustardhead was more likely to be seen on a Compass Box whisky than on the side of a distillery but courtesy of Springfield's most famous resident.....

by **Quaichuser** » Mon Jan 01, 2007 6:36 pm

If I can drink Sheep Dip, Mustardhead wouldn't be much of a stretch. :lol:

I'd buy Glen Turret...looks great, tastes great.

by **DramMeister** » Mon Jan 01, 2007 10:35 pm

Bunnahabhain - and then jump on the peat bandwagon.

by **dram_time** » Mon Jan 01, 2007 11:08 pm

I'd build a new one. On Shetland. Actually build one, that is, and then close it a year later due to astronomical operational costs.

Not really, i would love to own Scapa or Old P.

Dt.

by **Aidan** » Tue Jan 02, 2007 10:32 am

I'd probably buy Kilbeggan, if I didn't build a new one myself.

by **irishwhiskeychaser** » Tue Jan 02, 2007 2:08 pm

I would love to buy and re-open one of the old Irish Distilleries lost to the world

by **les taylor** » Tue Jan 02, 2007 2:43 pm

Although theMustardhead Distillery is appealing. It has to be Laphroiag for me. If for no other reason than the views out to sea. Magic place.

If you were Bill Gates you could buy every distillery on Islay. For that matter he could probably buy the entire island as well.

by **Deactivated Member** » Sat Jan 06, 2007 3:31 pm

I'd buy Glenturret and have that bloody Grouse for dinner and have a proper visitor centre aimed at how good the whisky is not how good the adverts are! :evil:

If I were rich...I' d buy
