Barrel Rejuvenation - We have recently designed and fitted, in conjunction with Schoolhill Engineering, our own De-Char and Re-Char plant. This option is becoming more popular with distilling companies as the cost of replacement casks becomes more expensive.

The useful life of a cask is considered to be around 4 fillings. After the fourth, the cask was cut for firewood or garden tubs. The process of de-char and re-char brings the cask back to life thus extending the useful life of the cask.
