Speyside Cooperage in Scotland: Marking Whisky Casks

Speyside Whisky cask cooperage visitors centre tours.jpg

For three generations, since 1947, the Taylor family has been running this unique business in Craigellachie in the heart of Speyside.

Some of the finest oak for coopering is grown in the USA and the Taylors make regular visits to Missouri, Kentucky and Tennesee to purchase this high quality American Oak.

Some of Scotland's finest malt whisky is produced in Speyside in the bonded warehouses of the distilleries, whisky worth millions of pounds lies maturing in oak casks.

Savour the sights, sounds and smells of our bustling workshops and why not have a go at building our 'demonstration' cask.

Watch our skilled coopers and apprentices at work.
