Distil Share Discussion Threads

That is a ridiculous price for such a quality bottle.
Probably doesn't help that it's marketed as a sunshine/summer drink and the summer appears to be decisively over.

RedLeg still £15 in sainsbury's.

It's got a nice position at the end of the drinks aisle right at eye level at my local.

That should be good for unit sales but I expect that Distil are paying for most, if not all, of that reduction and possibly most of their gross margin as well.

A new review for RedLeg Rum

We have had reports on Distils trading roughly every three months since it became DIS so I fully expect to see a new report in the middle of September.
I'm tempted to speculate on what it might say but I guess the sensible thing to do is to just wait for another two weeks and see. rgds, pete

well on a not too attractive day on the markets good to see there is still some cash about to be invested. Nice two 750K trades

First tweet from Dubai for Blackwoods Gin 60%

TU on 15 sep last year. No guarantee there will be one this year of course. Might be worth asking the bod I suppose. I note there has been a little bit of buying in the last week but I assume this was connected to the widespread share price falls after the China slowdown report. Will be interesting to see if there is any continuing buying during the next two weeks.

Redleg is currently being promoted in sainsburys, £15 a bottle. Picked one up yesterday.

[petersinthemarket] 24/8/2015 16:05

I'm still holding much more of this stock than I want already,
but I cannot help wondering whether todays share price activity is a tragedy
or a buying opportunity for the brave.

Bank of New York maybe the old holding that TW had in his t1ps fund that had to be hived off to another manager when everything imploded on him.

These September results are pretty important in my opinion.

[petersinthemarket] 21/8/2015 11:12

A few past dates for anyone interested:

Trading update 30jan14
Trading update 8may14
Finals 9jun14
Trading update 15sep14
Interims 16dec14
Finals 4jun15

And a few Holding Stats as of 4aug15:

Bank of New York nominees 13.71%
Redmayne nominees and Mr Howard Raymond 13.32%
Brewin nominees 5.2%
HSBC Global custody nominee 4.53%
AXA Investment Managers 4.53%
Total major shareholders over 3% 41.29%

Well so what! I here you say:

We had roughly 3monthly news in 2014 but this seems to have stopped in favour of only giving us the required interims and finals.

However, a possibilty of 3 month 2015/16 FY trading update in mid September?

Interesting to see such a large American holding.

Nearly 60% of shares still floating around with 1000's of minor shareholders.
Therefore, no upward pressure on share price

Is it still too early to hope for break even?

Lets hope for an exciting September; it's a long time to December.
GL, pete

Cheers Pete, gets a bit lonely at times in here.....

[petersinthemarket] 19/8/2015 20:14

Welcome home berny - nice to know someone is looking after the shop!

[berny3] 19/8/2015 19:32

[berny3] 19/8/2015 11:54

...to add we have a tweet from Canada for Blackwoods Gin.

Blackwoods Gin at Blackhorse Aylestone Leicester.

[berny3] 19/8/2015 07:31

Just back Peter, had a nice time away thank.

Interesting article about UK gin production and government support


Lots of activity on Twitter even CampariUK gave Redleg Rum a tweet!

There seems more activity for Blavod in the US.

and posts on Blackwoods Gin look to be growing as well.

Still have the positive feeling.........When the first 6 month results come out we will know a truer picture.

[petersinthemarket] 18/8/2015 18:41

Must be somethng wrong with advfn charts. Two moderate sells and the share price goes up. Hardly groundbreaking but hardly logical either. I guess Berny is on holidays. A long period wihout a distribution report now.

[berny3] 05/8/2015 11:09

Still watching the twitter feeds and distribution continues to grow. We are two months off end of half year. Not one to wish time away but I would like to see these results to confirm expectations that the company is inline to minimum break even.

[berny3] 03/8/2015 13:12

New section to the Blackwoods Gin website;
