How to Repair a Whisky Cask: An Afternoon with a Cooper

#wine #winetasting

In this episode, Ian visits the Tullibardine Cooperage to witness the incredible craftsmanship behind whisky cask making. From repairing staves to re-toasting barrels, we get hands-on with the tools, fire and skill that go into creating and maintaining the casks that give whisky its character.

We learn how coopers shape, seal and test each cask by hand, keeping centuries-old traditions alive while supporting the distillery’s spirit maturation. This is a rare behind-the-scenes look at a part of whisky production that most never get to see.

A huge thank you to Tullibardine Distillery for having us and sharing their knowledge.
