Mitä tapahtuu Suomen viskimarkkinoilla

Tilannekatsaus 03/18

Koostin viimeksi marraskuussa tilannetta Suomen viskimarkkinoilla ja taas olisi aika päivittää kuulumisia. Olemme saaneet taas pari uutta ilmoitusta viskin tislauksen aloittamisesta Pyynikin Käsityöläispanimolta ja Iso-Kallan Panimolta. Molemmilla on samassa yhteydessä osakeantia.

Paljon uusia viskejä ja tislaamoja

Olen saanut muutaman pyynnön kertoa Suomen tislaamojen tilanteesta. Joten tässä lyhyt kooste tietojeni pohjalta missä mennään ja mitä tulevaisuuden suunnitelmia tislaamoilla on.

Teerenpeli Distillery 2002 perustetulla tislaamolla on jo ikänsä puolesta hyvä valikoima markkinoilla ja saatavuus mallillaan. 10- vuotias on vanhin heiltä markkinoilla oleva.
