An employee of the Knockando Whisky Distillery in Scotland checks the casks in
An employee of the Knockando Whisky Distillery in Scotland checks the casks in the bonded warehouse. The whisky is left a minimum of three years but usually between 8 and 25 years in wooden barrels to mature. The bonded warehouses are cool and earth-floored to provide an even temperature and humidity. The barrels lose about 2% alcohol per annum the so-called angels share

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in January 1972, we are transported to the Knockando Whisky Distillery in Scotland. The image captures a dedicated employee diligently inspecting the casks in the distillery's bonded warehouse. As we delve into the details of this snapshot, we learn about the intricate process that goes into creating fine whisky. The barrels seen here hold precious liquid gold, left to mature for a minimum of three years but often between 8 and 25 years. This patient waiting game allows flavors to develop and intensify within these wooden vessels. The setting itself is intriguing; cool and earth-floored bonded warehouses provide an ideal environment for whisky maturation, ensuring consistent temperature and humidity levels. It is fascinating to think that even nature plays its part as the barrels lose approximately 2% alcohol per annum - known as "the angels' share". This print by Robert L Nicholson not only captures a moment frozen in time but also offers us a glimpse into an industry steeped in tradition and craftsmanship. It serves as a reminder of the meticulous work undertaken by skilled individuals who dedicate their lives to perfecting one of Scotland's most renowned exports – whisky. Whether you're an enthusiast or simply appreciate history captured through photography, this image transports you back to a time when hard work met artistry within the walls of Knockando Whisky Distillery.
