thanks for that.

yeah I was messing , That's the best way and with all things now looking up and mentioned in sharesmag we will start to gather some momentum here and an increase in volumes..

I guess you would say that if you'd sold and wish you hadn't lol

They just happen to have seen the value that we all seen :) Expect this to re-rate significantly from here in and for the rest of this year!!

Looking good but miles to go yet before we even get to a proper Mcap for this company. 5p by the end of October.

I'm with you, I think progress is being made and sterling will have been helping, especially in the US market which is going to be a game changer for us imo. Like others have said the sale of redleg or any other product will see us all doing very well.

I agree, this should do at least 200% to bring in line with fair value and the upper prices are only going to be reflective or either a buyout at 30p or incredible traction with regards to the US sales giving us a 10p share price. I'd be very happy with somewhere in the middle 5p or 6p would be good enough for me.

You said "i am not sure about 30p or 10p by christmas, but i am positive the sp will increase manifold before end of year..market cap of 5.2m only- the sp easily double or triple atm-" I think your correct this could do 2 or 3 times current price by The festive season. 30p is a big ask unless bought out but maybe 10p on the back of the US sales is possible soon enough. Great company under the radar with cash, no debt and a very desirable product that's growing all the time.

Last year and up until very recently this company had nothing but delays and hurdles to over come shooting for the TBB approval. That's all behind us now, we have it and it's now no longer an issue and we now traction. Look at the figures for last year though, they were incredible and that's with all the delays and hurdles. 2016 will be massive for DIS. Not only do we have the much sought after TTB approval but we are now increasing advertising and have a wider reach in the largest gin market in the world which the US in terms of UK produced gin. Once this all comes together I feel we can really kick on here and I have no doubt that at least one of our brands if not two are very likely to be bought out in the near future. The growth potential is huge from such a low and undervalued base.

I would imagine it goes straight from Jamaica.

Is one of our major share holders. I doubt he will have invested for no or little return and that should be a heads up to all looking in here.

Morning

All brands are profitable One brand is worth more than the entire Mcap Growth is on going Costs being cut The aim is to sell up or sell one brand for a multi million pound deal for a huge profit for investors.

Domestic sales Sales revenue in the UK grew by 121% following new listings with major customers during the year and continued growth through existing stockists of our brands. RedLeg Spiced Rum enjoyed a 350% increase in volumes as our brand reached new consumers. The premium gin market is showing signs of maturing but continues to grow and our Blackwoods Limited Edition is outperforming the market with a 62% increase in volume and revenue. Remember, were building a brand here !!!

spot on. The increase and expectations are indeed inline and therefore progressing nicely.

Got put faith in guys like this: Don Goulding Executive Chairman Previously held both UK and international senior management roles with Diageo including Managing Director Diageo UK from 1998, following five years in Spain as Managing Director UD Iberia (Diageo) other roles included positions based in various overseas markets and Global Brand Boards for Smirnoff and Tanqueray-Gordon and Chairman of The Portman Group. This is the calibre of the management that we have here and I'm 100% confident in his abilities to bring value here.

One more thing, the costs really are irrelevant because this is a shot in the big league we are paying for here. Don't confuse this for a steady growth business, it's not. it's about having both eyes on one goal! and going for it big time!! The goal is building a brand which will be taken out by one of the big players for a multi million pound deal. here is what the main man states clearly!!! Sales volumes and revenues from our brands have risen significantly during the year as we continue to focus on brand building through increased distribution, marketing and promotion. In particular we have made significant progress in the UK market where we have been successful in securing listings for RedLeg Spiced Rum in major UK retail multiples. We also continued to increase our presence in the US market with initial shipments of Blackwoods Small Batch Gin and Blavod Black Vodka during the year and in Australasia where we experienced significant volume growth for RedLeg Spiced Rum. Imo it's all about minimising costs whilst growing the brand and when the time is right it will be sold off.

Like I said the focus is on brand building. lets see how the US market receives Redleg Spiced Rum. it's the one my monies on to make us all a fortune here. So many positive to get excited about from the full year report in June this year to worry about a trading update 8 weeks later. Executive Chairman's statement Results Distil brands enjoyed strong growth with year-on-year revenues climbing 75% supported by an increase in marketing investment ahead of growth at 89%. Overall losses for the period were reduced from £289k to £98k representing a 66% reduction over prior year. Gross profit increased for each of our key brands with the fastest growth coming through RedLeg Spiced Rum which is performing consistently well in all markets domestically and internationally, in both the On-trade (bar, pubs and restaurants) and the retail trade. The reopening of the US market for Blavod Black Vodka more than offset a decline in Eastern Europe duty free sales, although Q4 showed encouraging signs of year-on-year growth. Placing In March we announced that we had raised £626,260 (gross) following a placing of 62.626 million new shares at 1p, a premium to the prevailing share price. Cash raised from the placing has been used to strengthen the balance sheet and provide funds for further investment in brand marketing. Domestic sales Sales revenue in the UK grew by 121% following new listings with major customers during the year and continued growth through existing stockists of our brands. RedLeg Spiced Rum enjoyed a 350% increase in volumes as our brand reached new consumers. The premium gin market is showing signs of maturing but continues to grow and our Blackwoods Limited Edition is outperforming the market with a 62% increase in volume and revenue. International In Q1 we commenced shipments of Blavod Black Vodka to the USA where we had been absent for several years. Initial results have been very positive. Our distributor has successfully opened new stockists and secured strong promotional activity around the peak selling period. Sales of Blavod Black Vodka in Eastern Europe showed early signs of recovery in Q4 although we are lapping weak numbers and not yet achieving the previous sales volumes, however it is encouraging to see some growth of this brand following a number of years of contraction. Blackwoods Gin sales continued to grow in continental Europe despite a flood of new gin brands in all markets. In the USA we further increased our presence following initial shipments of our Small Batch Gin in March 2015 and in April 2015 we received TTB approval for our Limited Edition 60% Gin. RedLeg Spiced Rum's rate of growth is accelerating in Australasia as the brand's profile improves following an increase in our marketing efforts in the territory. In the USA we faced continued delays in approval for RedLeg Spiced Rum from the TTB and s

it's all about building a brand, the trading update indicates progress is being made on that score and right now it's about getting these shelves filled in as many supermarkets as we can. You mentioned sales were up 1% but revenues are up 5% so that should answer the question regarding costs etc it takes only one bid from one of the big players to take this to 20p

At 84, Sidney Frank Sidney Frank can no longer swing a golf club–but he still hits the links. Each morning the frail liquor baron, who’s still making headlines for his stunning $2 billion sale of Grey Goose Vodka to Bacardi in June, climbs out of his $400,000 Mercedes Maybach and onto a golf cart in upstate New York. Once behind the wheel, he leads a team of aspiring pros across an exclusive course. In his gruff, gravely voice, Frank tells his players what clubs to use, where to hit the ball and how to play the angles on the green. In addition to their $50,000 salaries, Frank pays his pawns cash after every hole: $1,000 for a double eagle, $500 for eagle, $100 for birdie–plus $500 to the round’s winner. The reason I posted that snippet above was to mention the fact that Grey Goose was not selling as fast as Redleg Spiced Rum. At some point This will be a take over target based on the rum alone. They have other outstanding drinks on offer as well as the rum. I think this will liven up towards the festive season when the bottles will be flying of the shelves.
