Thanks!

Hello,
I am a mechanical engineer working in the oil and gas in Norway; I am looking to the possibility of returning to Mexico to start a Craft Distillery.
I understand the distilling process but never done any distilling, therefore I need some serious guiding; I think I will be asking few questions from time to time. So far I have some questions about the starting process of making the business plan.
The concept will be the following:
A distillery that is open to the public with a small factory bar to taste the products and maybe third party products. The main product I would like it to be Gin and the secondary Rum. Big part of the strategy is to have open production, with local supplies of course. I have a limited budget as everyone but I want to have some quality and nice looking distillery. So I want to cut where it is wise to cut and spend where is needed.
So the first question:
-
Could I achieve a really good quality Gin if I buy the sugar cane neutral alcohol? Or should I need to do my own fermentation? The craft distillery business in Mexico is not very developed so there is no marketing advantage form one over the other solution.
-
How long or how many courses, workshops do I need to take before being able to produce a quality drink? I know it is very subjective but I guess it is possible to estimate.
-
How long will take to have a quality product if I contract a master distiller?
-
From the day I distill something acceptable how long it can take to be bottled and ready to be sold?
-
Which brand, size and design of still I need to produce the Gin? Remember that the open production is part of the marketing so it needs to look cool. Don’t know if I need some fancy Carl or Holstein or just another producer in the US.
I think that is more than enough for this time, thank you so much for your help and please drop a line even if it is short or link or something I just need to get started somewhere.
Regards
Franco Attolini
