| Speyside Cooperage makes and repairs casks for many different industries. |
 |
| Apprentices work 4 years to earn their certification. Once they have done that, Speyside Cooperage guarantees them employment until they retire. |
 |
| We took a tour of the cooperage where we were allowed to look down over the work area. Much of what they do here is refurbish used casks. |
 |
| The guy in the blue shirt is one of their veteran cask builders. On April 29, 2017 they held a competition amongst their coopers to see if anyone could beat the world record 190 liter barrel build time of 7 minutes 30 seconds. The guy in the blue shirt, David McKenzie, made one in 3 minutes 3 seconds |
