Coopers at work on Speyside
At the Speyside Cooperage it is possible to observe coopers assembling and repairing barrels for the whisky trade. White Oak (Quercus alba) is sourced in Kentucky, USA and a pile of staves is visible below the viewing gallery. Traditional tools and reeds can be seen on the workbench. The Dutch reeds are used as a seal when fitting the barrel head and the cooper on the left is doing this. Before hoops are fitted the barrel is steamed to make the wood more pliable. The steam room is at the far end of the workshop on the right of picture. For more information see http://www.speysidecooperage.co.uk/

Speyside Cooperage, timber workshop
As much of the work is reconstruction of casks, new timber is only needed for replacement of faulty elements, so work in here is more intermittent.

Speyside Cooperage, main workshop
The coopers each work on a complete cask at a time, carrying out all the processes rather than each performing a particular element. There are two apprentices working at the far side; the cooperage has a well developed apprentice scheme to ensure continuity.

Speyside Cooperage
This has to be the best place in Scotland to have a cooperage owing to the amount of distilleries on Speyside.
