The Risky Business of Whisky | The Borders Distillery (2x19)

:

If you've ever dreamed of opening a whisky distillery, it may be time for a reality check. In this video, I go over 4 of the biggest obstacles faced by start-up whisky distilleries, and how they cope with the challenges. I'm joined by John Fordyce a co-founder of The Borders Distillery, a distillery which opened to the public in 2018. He'll share his experiences as a scotch whisky start-up, and explain why whisky, particularly scotch whisky, is such a risky business to enter into.
