Speyside Cooperage

Speyside Cooperage is a working cooperage at Craigellachie in Moray, where oak casks are repaired, rebuilt and prepared for use by the drinks industry. The business supports whisky and other spirit producers that rely on wooden casks for maturation.

Traditional coopering skills remain central to the operation, with coopers shaping, repairing and charring casks in the workshop. The site also includes a visitor centre where members of the public can see the cooperage at work, book tours and learn about the lifecycle of a cask.

Speyside Cooperage operates from Dufftown Road, Craigellachie. Its legal company was incorporated in 1965, while the cooperage's history predates that company. Trade and visitor enquiries are handled separately through the site, with published telephone and email contacts for both. The location sits within Speyside's whisky-producing area and serves distillers as well as tourism visitors. The operation serves both trade customers and visitors.
