A licence to produce whisky openly in the Glen. It would be the first time such a thing had happened in history. Everyone had scoffed at the idea. Told him he was mad. That it simply wasn’t how things were done. But this was who George was. He knew his own character well, and he was far too dogged to give up on his vision. This was the future. He was sure of it. Just as he was sure his whisky would be the finest the Duke had ever tasted. So he waited. And the Duke smiled. “You’re a bold man George Smith. And you’re going to need to be a brave one too to pull this off. The licence is yours my friend. And maybe the world will be too.
