part of the whole mystique of the brand is where it's from (Mt. Ararat is where Noahs' Ark came to rest) and how unique it is and the whole 200 year old recipe which I'm sure is a proprietary and closely guarded process. I do see adding capacity to the existing distillery to handle the extra volume. It doesn't take a lot of manpower and space to produce lots of Vodka. I don't know how long they age the Vodka but once they start to get an idea and increase mfg. they will start shipping on a regular basis. The lead time to the customer / LA does suck and nothing can be done about that.
