My husband and I were thrilled to visit a working cooperage during our trip to Scotland. Although the drive was about 1.5 hours each way from our accommodation, it was definitely worth it! Learning about the history and craftsmanship at Speyside was fascinating, and watching the skilled artisans work on the casks firsthand was an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in seeing this amazing craftsmanship up close!
Absolutely fascinating. Great to see a craft like that still going strong. The folks building and repairing casks are amazing to watch. If you're into whisky - it's worth going there just as much as any distillery!
I was at the Cooperage a couple of days ago. Very impressive, hard and dedicated work. It feels like one big family. Great tour and very informative. Thank you Charlotte for "the extra mile!"
Wow - lots to learn here! This is hard work and these guys are moving the whole time. Definitely worth a stop!
