10% Revenue increase for a fledgling AIM company sounds great!? an increase is obviously good but this should be a lot more with an ambitious team, sounds like steady as we go till retirement!

Redleg Banana Rum is currently ranked no.2 top seller in the Rum category on Amazon..

[guppy57] 13/7/2021 15:09

I too haven't seen any red leg rum for sometime. A slight concern but hopefully will change with time

No sign of the tropical or banana varieties in my area. The pineapple version was a bit too sweet for my taste. Original is far superior.

[haggismchaggis] 13/7/2021 12:56

Going up at last!

Anyone tried the tropical or banana redleg? I've had a bottle of the pineapple. Wasn't sure at first but it became quite addictive with coke

Good results - Progressive Equity Research note available on DIS website, but doesn't add anything extra.

Great trading update news, onwards and upwards!!

[cockneytrader] 12/7/2021 07:11

Great, all as expected.

First quarter volumes in 2019 and 2020 were comparable. I am expecting a small growth in volume and a slightly higher increase in operating profit than 1Q 2020, especially with two new Red Leg products (Banana and Tropical).

Can’t see a positive trading update next week, sales will be flat at best year on year IMO.

[cockneytrader] 10/7/2021 11:07

Expecting the trading update on Thursday 15th. If one examines the sales data on Amazon it is clear that Red Leg is the hot brand doing 90% of the lifting. This brand is consistently in the top 10, and is stealing sales from the likes of Captain Morgan. Its only a matter of time until Red Leg is sold and should be worth £50m.

[cockneytrader] 02/7/2021 19:11

Red Leg doing very well. Sales of Trove, in my view, have been disappointing.

[cockneytrader] 02/7/2021 19:08

I am expecting the trading update on the 15 July, which also happens to be the morning of the AGM.

[petersinthemarket] 02/7/2021 10:55

Could be a Q1 TU next Thursday - 8 July last year.

Think Amazon can be confusing sometimes with getting listings mixed up. You can tell by the number of reviews (3k+) that the listing now number 3 is original redleg not banana. When you click the link you get 2 options, original at £17 or banana at £19.

It looks like Redleg Banana flavour is now ranked top 4 best seller on Amazon....

[haggismchaggis] 24/6/2021 18:49

They obviously don't read DIS results RNS!!hTTps://www.thespiritsbusiness.com/2021/06/top-10-fastest-growing-spirits-brands-6/

Growth every year...

[haggismchaggis] 17/6/2021 07:46

Should get a Q1 trading update in about 3 weeks' time. Hopefully by then there will be sufficient visibility to enable them to provide guidance for H1 at least. Comparatives vs last year should also be favourable despite the decent performance in H1 last year.

[someuwin] 15/6/2021 11:21

Interesting! - considering Today's DIS news....

Roland Grain (DIS director and 20% shareholder) has just paid £7.2 million to become major shareholder and funder of a new Scotch whisky distillery

[gleach23] 15/6/2021 11:06

Yes - looking very interesting.

With market quote now 2.4-2.5, happily I cannot buy 1k shares but can sell 450k well inside the spread @ 2.445. One can't assume anything obviously but I'm expecting previous recent highs to be challenged again very soon.

[someuwin] 15/6/2021 07:11

Premium malt whisky - interesting!
