Westons Cider’s Post

Interesting notes on Bowmore here.

I've spoken about this before but as other Distilleries have recently posted about Bottles they are launching, that cost the same as a rather nice new car, you might wonder, who actually figures-out the TRUE cost of Scotch Whisky, to the UK? There are now 150+ Disilleries in Scotland and dozens and dozens of them have BETTER 'stock' than this, to compete in a '15 year old to retirement age' Market. How MUCH stock? We're 'officially' told there are 'about' 20,000,000 Casks in all of Scotland but an afternoon on Google Earth (or a wee drive around Clackmannanshire, Fife and Ayrshire) will tell you, it's very clearly, much MUCH more than this. Also, as a Cask filled in as recently as the year 2000, is now considered 'old and rare' how many bottles in total are now worth £300+, never mind £30,000+? Remember, it's a GLOBAL Market with billion+ populations, in Continents all over the world not only taking part but growing, massively. Scotch is only 2% of the ENTIRE Indian Whisky Market, the largest in the World. Just 2%. If a 24 year-old, fairly unspectacular bottle (in competition terms) of The Dalmore is £5,000, what does this value the ENTIRE Scotch Whisky Market at? This ISN'T a stock that's depleted, it's getting much bigger. Every year, it gets replenished. Why on EARTH don't we have a cohesive Scotch Whisky Tourism Strategy and Budget? One NOT linked to any one Company, who may (or may not) be performing well? #ScotchWhiskyTruths

PE Teachers and Sport Coaches: Athletes can learn three valuable lessons from the patron saint of Wales, St. David: 1. Discipline and Dedication: St. David was known for his disciplined lifestyle and commitment to his beliefs. Athletes can learn the importance of dedication and discipline in their training regimes, staying focused on their goals even when faced with challenges. 2.Humility and Service: St. David emphasized humility and service to others. Athletes can learn to use their talents and successes to serve their communities and inspire others, rather than seeking personal glory alone. 3.Mindfulness and Mental Strength: St. David promoted a mindful approach to life, focusing on inner peace and spiritual well-being. Athletes can benefit from cultivating mental strength and resilience, enabling them to overcome setbacks and perform at their best under pressure. Yes I agree with Seren Kids all kids can shine bright like shooting stars #Sports #StDavid

Two weeks ago we attended the Craft Brewers Conference in Las Vegas, one of the longest running and biggest craft beer events of the year. I heard repeatedly from other vendors that the show was “slow” for them and that “traffic was down” this year. The craft beer market isn’t what anyone would consider a hot market anymore. The days of easily posting 20%-30%, and in our case, even 500% growth years by just showing up and collecting orders are behind us. But we had our most successful CBC ever. Why? Because we work to provide value at these events…not just ask for money. Here’s how we did that this year: 📍Location, location, location—we were fortunate enough to land a prime spot just inside the main entrance to the expo hall. If attendance is down, you better make sure you get the traffic. Spending 60% of the money for 10% of the results is a bad strategy. ⚙️We created an interactive experience in our booth to allow folks to play with our machines, see how cans are made, and actually use our products. Wouldn’t you be more comfortable spending tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars if you’d actually tried the thing you’re buying? 🎓We seek to teach and inform, not just try to “sell”. I love asking questions about what is keeping our customers up at night…and then providing any insights or experiences we have that might alleviate that pain. 👷♂️To that end, we didn’t just send 11 sales people to the show. We also sent engineers, tech support, canning line operators, and executives—the ones that have actually done the work and solved the myriad of problems our customers face. We have people stop by our booth every year just to chat and access the canning brain trust. That’s unreal value…for FREE. ❤️🔥We’re not romantic. We love beer. But consumers tastes are shifting and beer isn’t paying the bills like it used to. We’ve worked hard to ensure we have solutions for our customers as they adapt to this new age of beverage. What are the best trade show experiences you’ve seen??
