How many of our connections explored whisky bottlings? Cask Capital is working on several bottling projects (Octave casks) with a smaller outrun (between 50-100 bottles). We would like to know the general sentiment around such releases and if it would make it easier for medium-size retailers to launch their own series without committing too much money toward the entire cask purchase. We have some useful documents to share if anyone is interested (bottling calculator, etc). Feel free to send us a message. We are happy to share our knowledge. #whisky #whiskey #whiskybottling #whiskyrelease #whiskyenthusiast #whiskyinvestment #scotch #scotchwhisky

New £20m whisky distillery by Laggan gets the go-ahead Plans for a whisky distillery by Laggan costing up to £20m which could create a 'good number of local jobs' have received unanimous approval. Cairngorms National Park Authority's planning committee members gave the go-ahead to Speyside Distillers Company Ltd's plans when they met at their Grantown headquarters earlier today.

When most people in the brewing industry hear the word centrifuge, they immediately think of the usual vertical, high speed, disc stack clarifier type that most breweries use. Traditionally for final clarification or turbidity adjustment (think cloudy beers), these machines operate in a fairly narrow window...But what to do when you want/need to separate a different stream? What if you wanted to recover beer from hop sludge or wort from trub?
