Well I don't know the details Barry of the points you mention.. My remark
was that it IS being used now and that it has been used for more years
than I can remember and that is going back to the 1930s.
It may be that the problems in distribution are not insurmountable.Existing
tankers are certainly used here (Oops! that remark will bring a sneer
from Bonny Scotland I guess! Must not mention HERE!!).
Just curious - if it can't be put through pipelines how is it distributed
in the distillery now? In buckets? I am not joking - serious question.
