Yesterday, we were delighted to welcome Alexandra Baych, Agriculture Attaché for the UK and Republic of Ireland, US Embassy London and Julie Vasquez-Nicholson, Agriculture Marketing Specialist for the UK and Republic of Ireland, US Embassy London to our Speyside Cooperage Craigellachie Site.
Hosted by Brian Bartlett, Manging Director (far left) and Malcolm Munro, Cooperage Manager North (far right), the visit provided a fantastic opportunity to share knowledge and explore the world behind the cask — from craftsmanship & sustainability to logistics & the complexities of global supply chains.
Because a cask is so much more than a container. The oak, the craft, the provenance and the people behind it all play a vital role in shaping what ultimately ends up in the glass.
