There will also be 25 Christmas trees on display, all kindly donated by Cotley Farm Christmas Shop and decorated by local schoolchildren and groups. We are also delighted to announce we will also have two real reindeer “flying” over on the Saturday morning from 10am – 1pm, so don’t miss the chance to meet Dancer and Prancer.

Show Distributors-still looking for good people

Thinking of becoming one of our Show Distributors? If so then this Blog gives you an idea of what is involved.

Most of our Show Distributors Earn £5k to £10k per year by selling at public events. To achieve this level of income most of our Show Distributors will work two days per month.

Many counties already have a Show Distributor in place. There are often too many events to attend in some Show Distributor areas – contact us even if it looks like your area is taken and we may be able to accommodate you.

Hebridean Spirits & Liqueurs sells liqueurs direct to the public via Show Distributors, all round Great Britain at consumer shows.

View our brands on our Website: www.hebridean-liqueurs.co.uk

The benefits of owning and running one of our Show Distributor businesses are:

  • Pre-start meeting to discuss Show plans and experience the brands
  • Steady, regular income from selling direct to consumers
  • In business for yourself, but not by yourself – we help you to get started
  • Exclusive area with full training package carried out at a Show
  • Free Distributor Training Day including Accommodation, Dinner, Breakfast and refreshments – meet other Distributors and exchange sales ideas

  • Money back guarantee on unsold stock – you can get your money back at any time

What’s involved? No licence fees or ongoing marketing charges to pay.

The Show Distributor signs Licence to sell our Liqueurs in a specified area.

All the materials required to sell the Liqueurs at a show are supplied, free of charge:

  • Graphics and marketing materials
  • Sample glasses and sample bottles of all liqueurs
  • Bags for the customers to take the liqueurs home in
  • Branded clothing to establish a professional image

The Show Distributor chooses which shows to attend and pays for them and obtains a liquor licence as appropriate. We help with this and it is a straightforward process.

Orders stock to be delivered some days prior to each show.

Depending on the size and number of shows the Show Distributor is attending, an outlay of £2,000 to £3,000 is required to get started and to keep trading.

All liqueurs are paid for prior to each show and are delivered to you free of charge.

We offer a full sale or return guarantee on all stock.

 

What type of person is a Show Distributor?

Perhaps between jobs, have some spare time, retired or semi-retired with a desire to do something which is fun, to stay busy and earn some extra income.

The difference here is that as a Show Distributor, you have control over when you attend events – no-one else decides when you are to work.

Maybe working full time but looking for extra cash to make ends meet and able to spare one or two days a month at weekends.

Someone who is not working and wants independent income or perhaps saving for a new car or holiday.

Somebody who loves meeting people and attending Summer Fetes/Craft Fares and getting paid for it.

Somebody who owns a business and has time for another business.

Occupations of our Show Distributors include Headmaster, Petrol station owner, Salesman, Computer analyst, Policeman, Business owner, Promotional staff company owner, Warehouse Manager

Whisky Collections bought for cash-call now for an offer

We buy Whisky Collections – read this Blog to find out more details

If you have a Scotch Whisky collection or are in a position to sell one, call us to discuss how much it’s worth.

Before you call, prepare a list of the entire collection and if possible, email it to us on;

info@hebridean-liqueurs.co.uk

Once you have sent the Collection details and we had an opportunity to value it, we can discuss this with you. If you never ask, the Collection may end up going to auction with possibly very poor return for you.

Delivering the Collection – getting your Collection to us is your responsibility – you can either bring it to us here in Helensburgh or agree to meet somewhere convenient for the stock transfer. Sending via post is not recommended. We do not deal in miniature collections.

We have been handling the sales of the Dragon Whisky (Highland Park) for the owners for some time so are used to sorting out this type of item for collectors and sellers alike.

As we have a full Off Sales Licence, we can sell goods on Amazon too.

If in doubt, send a list and call us on 01436 679935 and ask for Roy Lewis, Managing Director

Single Cask Whiskies – in stock and about to be bottled

Single cask whiskies available now and coming out soon

For some time, we have been sourcing and supplying via our Show Distributors, single cask Scotch whisky. If you look for this type of product on the Internet or almost any Whisky retailer, you will see that these are usually costing £60+ per 70cl bottle.

By bottling in 50cl bottles, the retail price can be reduced to @ £50 which means that our customers can experience the unique taste of single cask whiskies without breaking the bank.

Currently these are the casks available via our Show Distributors – this means you can buy these from their stand at consumer shows. These whiskies are mostly only available via this outlet as there is not enough out of each cask to also supply retail shops too.

Mariner Malt II Glentauchers (located in the Speyside region – neighbour to the Craigellachie distillery) 2002 – Cask Number 15850 – 12 years Old

Mariner Malt III Tobermory (located on the island of Mull on Scotland’s West Coast) 1996 Cask Number 349 – 18 Years Old
