Ever heard of Cooley Whiskey? The Cooley Whiskey distillery in Ireland dating back to 1987 and was sold in 2011 for $95m. Maybe he was one of the beneficiaries and can see potential in DIS for huge upside.
Certainly not a hobby either way, investing isn't a hobby, you do it to make money.
Weird with his background to invest in DIS.
Possibly made his money and this is just a half hobby / half investment ?
That's a good sign.
Don't know which idiots are selling at this level though.
Dr Cooley bought 4,300,000. RNS out.
Err, yes there's lots of bricks and mortar retailers selling Blackwoods. It's a simple task to search if you're interested.
Cork & Cask in Edinburgh it's open until 8pm or Cambridge Wine Merchants have several high street outlets selling Blackwoods.
Thanks, i know you can buy it online, was wondering if there is any bricks and mortar retailer stocking it. Appears not
I'm hoping the growth is as exponential as it was prior to the distribution changes. If it is then over the next year or so they could then get back to profitability and start to return some shareholder value, finally. And in that time more new products (including the Whisky?) coming to market.
Shandy,
https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=%22blackwoods+Gin%22
There are loads of independent retailers selling Blackwoods Gin, but given that it's not in the major supermarkets, this did pleasantly surprise me.
"Blackwoods Gin & Vodka saw Q3 revenue grow 123% year-on-year (72% revenue growth year-to-date vs same period last year)"
Glad about the positivity and they could do so much more with the online presence. Like linking from the Distil PLC site to the Red Leg Rum online shop and make the other brands like Blavod and Blackwoods available to purchase direct.
Good growth, albeit from a very low 2022 figures, however, more is needed.
For the 3 months just reported, which includes the Xmas period, gross profits were £272k. At H1 admin costs were £674k so assuming the same for Q3 that's still a loss.
Out of interest where can i buys Blackwoods gin? I've only see it on Amazon
Good news, good growth, looks back on track as a recovery stock.

Gordon's is vile. Why would anyone want to save £7 to drink that awful stuff instead of Blackwood's?
Decent Gin is always more expensive, I've paid £50 for a 50cl of 'That Boutique-y Gin Company' Gin. I've paid £50 for a 50cl of Monkey 47. I could go on, I have 61 Gin's on my bar at the last count.
As a decent PREMIUM Gin, Blackwoods is not expensive at £25, not even close to expensive.
Backwoods is a nice gin, but the packaging and branding is about the worst on the market - completely outdated and zero shelf appeal. The old stubby bottle from 3/4 years ago was much better.
There is a real market between the £18 Gordon's and the £25 plus more premium end, if they can refresh the packaging.
Red Leg is a great brand and stocked extensively. Do the same search on Blackwoods and it shows the issues - not stocked by any retailer as far as i can see (online sales only), and that's our 2nd biggest brand
I see that Redleg Rum is now on the shelves in Sainsburys, Tesco and Morrison's!

Are you tsaking the DIS

Flava - either youre on the wrong board or got your numbers wrong.
Nice rise but p****d off a few have been given so much at the lower share price.
Anyway I hope 1. the "base" business is now back on track after the go to market reboot and we have knowldge of new launches as this industry seems to have four year fads 2. The distillery isnt a vanity project
Purveyor of one of my favourite tipples so nice to see it rising again.
A remarkable 4 billion shares have already exchanged hands in just two days, showcasing an astonishing level of trading activity. While this surge in activity has largely flown under the radar, it's evident that interest is rapidly escalating, and I'm confident that US investors are among those taking notice.
I also wonder what was said at the meeting that could have caused this rise.
No stock available, negotiated trade only. Funding completed, backed by the those with a big interest in the success of the company, cash in the bank to get us moving again. Not a lot to complain about, as I averaged down all the way and am already back into a paper profit, but holding for the real money.
