SPEYSIDE COOPERAGE, DALMUNACH & GLEN GRANT DISTILLERIES
Today we went to one of the must-see locations when visiting the Speyside region of Scotland (especially for whisky fans), the Speyside Cooperage. A cooper is a craftsman who has trained for a minimum of four years to learn the art of building, maintaining and repairing oak barrels. Coopers are essential to the whisky industry and the Speyside Cooperage produces upwards of 100,000 casks per year!
