For those of you wondering (like I was) where the hell the Shetland Islands were and how we could have possibly not ever talked about them in out 5 years, they are WAY north of Schotland’s mainland. Here’s some info. http://www.shetlandtourism.com/pages/where_is_shetland.htm

I simply did not know that the Shetland’s were part of Scotland. Very cool. When do you think spirit from the distillery will be available?

In May 2008, Blackwood Distillers suspended the project due to financial difficulties as the company fell into administration. Funding and planning problems have meant the prospective distillery suffered consistent delays but construction of the facility is still “expected” to be announced “soon”.
