The £12m distillery would be the largest single personal funding made on the island and the model, which initially made gin, was based by natives Katie and Michael Morrison (pictured) in 2017.
“It feels particularly important as 2024 has been so constructive for the enterprise – we’ve secured new listings in main supermarkets across the UK, introduced in 5 new members to the workforce and opened an workplace over on the mainland,” mentioned Michael Morrison.
“We see this challenge as greater than only a improvement. It’s a transformative step for our island neighborhood. We’ve at all times believed within the far-reaching advantages it would carry to the neighborhood and that perception is stronger than ever. And this challenge showcases how small, distant communities could make daring strikes to ascertain themselves on the worldwide stage.
“None of this is able to be doable with out the unwavering help of our stakeholders, the creativity and experience of the workforce behind the construct, and, most significantly, the loyalty of our unbelievable clients.”
The distillery is scheduled to open in October 2026 with manufacturing beginning shortly after.
