Peter Discovers There is NO Didsbury Distillery | Dragons’ Den

Mark Smallwood and Liam Manton pitch their Manchester-based gin 'Didsbury Gin' and seek £75,000 in return for a 10% equity stake but without their own distillery, will any of the Dragons invest?
An international sensation, Dragon's Den features entrepreneurs pitching for investment in the Den from our Dragons, five venture capitalists willing to invest their own money in exchange for equity.

Ring up a distillery. Order X bottles with this flavouring added, Y bottles with that. Stick a name on it and a fancy label. Done. Nothing craft about it and they've no intention of going to the trouble and expense of distilling their own.

So can anyone else, many have tried, many have failed, they even discussed this in the video.

[@AlanHope2013]

To be fair, it would be utter madness to have an idea of a local gin, then your first step is to open a distillery and find out how to distill gin. Makes much more sense to use a contract distillery to sound out the market. So that first step is not a bad one. As the Dragons pointed out, they need to start distilling for themselves asap.

[@Locutus]

@@AlanHope2013 I agree Alan. They were right to contract out the manufacturing at this stage of the business. It's very important for them to open their own distillery sooner, rather than later, but

[@justanotherviewer4821]

@@Locutus Not happening. Jenny's £75k isn't doing much other than gaining her a third of the shares. They have managed to increase this to around half a million pound of investment... all they need is their financing facility to deal with the outsourced contracts costs and fulfilling any supermarket orders, as when their income rolls in for sold stock they simply pay off the finance. They don't have an office and the two founders work from home. You can obviously set up a very DIY distillery for much closer to nothing but to purpose build or to refurbish an existing building for a distillery is going to be pretty pricey. Also, HMRC are a PITA to deal with and get a licence. I believe they subcontract out to Manchester Gin.
