Timeline 2002

  • At the start of the year, the website is given a slight revamp and more information is added. By the middle of the year, however, the site is offline once again. This situation persists until early 2004. It is only then that Anthony Wills’ painstaking search for investors for the distillery project – which had, in the meantime, come close to failing on several occasions – is crowned with success; construction work can begin and a redesigned website comes to life.
