## Resource

Borders Distillery is poised to launch its first single malt whisky within the year, marking a major return to whisky-making in the region after a long hiatus. Backed by notable investors like Malcolm Offord and led by new MD Giancarlo Bianchi — a veteran from Penderyn — the distillery has quietly built an impressive eight-year-old whisky stockpile, positioning itself for a strong debut despite global economic headwinds and a struggling Scotch whisky market. Bianchi remains bullish, believing the industry may be at its lowest point, and plans a phased rollout starting locally in the Borders, expanding across Scotland and the UK before targeting key export markets in Europe, Asia, and North America.
