"The Distillers Institute course is a must for anyone thinking of entering the distilling business. What I have found, having built a few businesses from scratch, is that it takes years to gain the industry knowledge of what is available in this course.

I have been so impressed with the professional content and the support from Anne on my journey into distilling.  If you are wanting to equip yourself with a broader knowledge of the spirit industry and put yourself years ahead on your journey then sign up and get started. You will love it."
