In this section we introduce you to interesting areas around the production, such as a cask factory and a bottling plant. Find out what chill filtration is all about and how the production of whisky has changed over the years.
The first beginnings of whisky production date back to 1494, although the end product had little in common with our whisky today. To this day, the production process is almost unchanged, although the technology has evolved.
Much has changed since renowned distilleries such as Highland Park, Bowmore and Glen Garioch began producing at the end of the 18th century. The operation of the plants has become very modern.
What kind of wood the barrel is made of, how big and old it is, and last but not least how it was filled, all have a significant influence on the contents.
Barrel production
The long life of a barrel, from its manufacture through the various fillings to its reprocessing.
The maturation of whisky in casks is a careful process that imparts complex flavours and character to the distillate as it matures in wooden casks, transforming it from a raw distillate into a rich and nuanced spirit.
