|
Was out for a drive this morning and passed by the site of the new Falkirk distillery 
Semed to be just groundwork and a few site buildings at the moment but was looking good.
Will call by again next weekend and post a picture for you all.
Thinking about it now its actually closer to Polmont, a lot closer, so maybe the names a bit of a liberty  |

This is a brief message on the Falkirk distillery web site:
"There can be no doubt that the new distillery will provide a multifunctional resource capable of delivering a range of practical solutions for business and leisure in the area. Of course the whisky itself must not be overlooked. Replicating the spirit of the past would produce a triple distilled whisky unique to the area and put Falkirk firmly back on the map as a whisky producing area" . More info at link below.

Retail park.. oh and a distillery.Sounds a wee bit overly corporate? Not sensing the whisky love  |

Certainly more than the 16 men of Tain 
It will be a long time before they will see 75,000 visitors a year, i would have thought they would need to establish the whisky first.
I assume there aim is to produce a Rosebank style whisky, did they acquire the old stlls from Rosebank. |

| I've a feeling it needs to go a long long way before it has that many visitors, but one can never compain about another distillery opening up. |
