  Thanks for the info but something that has been mothballed for 20 years is more of a project than I want.

  Appreciate it.

  You could buy up the stock in a publicly traded company that operates a distillery, then take it private. Diageo operates at least one plant, as does Bacardi. Is that the scope and scale of your project, or do you want to give a little more info on what you’re seeking?
