Explained: Whisky cask ageing, how it works and influence on flavour

In our latest video Charlie Pountney talks to Richard Bayles "The Wood Expert" at Charles Edge to how cask ageing works. In the whisky industry everyone talks about water, size of stills, yeast and length of fermentation less about the casks themselves which the whisky is aged. It is estimated that around 60-80% of flavour comes from the cask maturation process so the quality and types of casks are vitally important. By tasting through a few different whisky finishes, this video covers how cask ageing actually works and what flavours we can expect from different casks.
