I do worry about what happens when cheap American oak ex bourbon casks stop getting sent to Scotland…

    Canada buys them for their whiskey, doesn’t need to be new.

    Depending on what they are making, sometimes they do. Re-charing can only go so far and you lose a lot of the elements in the oak when you do. Some casks are one time use only for what they want to make.

    3-4 uses, than they ship them to Scotland to be broken down for scotch.

    I worked at a distillery as a contractor. Orientations include history as well as all the products they make. Also just talking with the higher ups gets some pretty useless neat information.
