New feasibility study offers for distilleries

We’ve formalised something we’ve been doing quietly for years: focused feasibility studies for distilleries at two key points in their life.

1. New distillery feasibility

For clients at the “we’d love to build a distillery” stage, we offer a structured feasibility study that looks at:

  • why you’re building at all (brand home, local project, capacity, or a mix)

  • what your chosen site will realistically support in terms of access, planning and utilities

  • how production, visitors and neighbours can coexist

  • outline capital costs, programme ranges and key risks

The aim is to give you a clear preferred option, realistic budget and timeline bands, and a practical roadmap into planning and detailed design – before you commit to major spend.

2. Feasibility for existing distilleries

For distilleries that are already up and running, we now offer a separate feasibility package focused on expansion and visitor upgrades. This typically covers:

  • operational review of how the site really works day-to-day

  • options for increased capacity and debottlenecking

  • rethinking visitor routes and experiences that have outgrown the original layout

  • next phase masterplanning, OPEX implications, phasing and disruption

Here the goal is to help you evolve the site without breaking what already works – and to test which ideas are genuinely worth the effort.

If you’d like to sense check where your project sits, we’re always happy to have an initial conversation.
