But a number of locals are unhappy with blueprints.
A proposed £150m whisky facility that would hold up to half a million barrels of spirits will be decided this week.
Beam Suntory wants to build the 70,000 sqm whisky maturation facility just off the M77 north of Kilmarnock at South Drumboy Farm. A total of 34 objections were lodged, including from Fenwick and Moscow & Waterside Community Councils. In 2021 Mairi McAllan MSP, then minister for environment, said that: "The main release to air from Scotch whisky maturation is the fugitive emission of ethanol, which disperses very quickly in the atmosphere and is not considered to be harmful to human health through this exposure route."
"Whilst is it recognised that the proposed development is of a substantial scale, the proposal has been designed sympathetically so it can be absorbed by the rural landscape within which it will sit. "Whilst the objections raise a range of valid planning considerations, none are considered to be of sufficient weight that would indicate the application should be refused."
