"We're now in competition to hire the people that live here, but are commuting outside of Brigham City to get the pay they need. We may be able to bring those folks home, and that is exciting. We can say we will now have real, genuine French pastries made right here in Utah and shipped nationally." - DJ Bott, Mayor at Brigham City

Read our take and check out the key highlights 👇
The Lochranza Distillery Extension was a unique project.
In 1995, the late Harold Currie, a former Chivas Bros MD, opened the Lochranza Distillery and brought legal whisky-making back to Arran after almost 160 years.
It was a bold move back in the mid-1990s.
The industry was in a slump at that stage.
Big companies were cutting back.
Many distilleries were dormant.
But it turned out to be a pioneering move.
And a monumental project for Colorado to undertake!
It was a 4-part success story:
1. The Challenge of Island Construction
↳ Delivering on an island isn't easy, but we mastered it.
2. Expert Teamwork
↳ Led by Angus Souter and backed by David McGinigal, David Innes, and Tracy Aziz.
3. Historical Significance
↳ Lochranza isn't just a distillery. It's a pioneer in the whisky renaissance, nearly 30 years strong. This extension was a tribute to that legacy.
4. Enhanced Visitor Experience
↳ More than making whisky. It was about creating an unforgettable journey for every visitor.
You do these things right once, and it leaves a lasting impact.
P.S. Ever wonder about the difference between island and mainland construction?
It's all about adapting to unique environments.

Fact Friday: Softwood's prominence is steadily rising across the nation, while hardwoods continue to maintain their dominance in Missouri. Here's a closer look at why each holds its ground:
🌿 Hardwood's Local Advantage: In Missouri, the prevalence of hardwood stems from its suitability to the region's environment and industries. With abundant hardwood forests, we rely on its strength and durability for various applications.
🌳 Softwood's Nationwide Appeal: Softwood gains traction nationwide due to its accessibility and cost-effectiveness. Its widespread availability makes it a popular choice for pallet needs, offering an economical solution for businesses beyond Missouri's borders.
🚚 Lightweight Efficiency: Softwood's lightweight properties remain advantageous for optimizing logistics and transportation costs. By reducing overall shipment weight, businesses can streamline handling and enhance operational efficiency.
In an evolving pallet industry, both hardwoods and softwoods play essential roles; softwoods can be beneficial for certain shipping solutions!
