Since 1916, all Scotch whisky must be aged in an oak cask for at least 3 years. The oak can be American, French or Spanish in origin and the cask might be new or might have been used to hold almost anything before. Some, such as those in which Sherry had been shipped to the U.K.,or America's Bourbon casks (which by law can only be used once) were foundto impart a pleasing quality of their own to the finished whisky. So what began as a legal obligation and ecomonic make-do measure, transformed into a valued enhancement. Today Sherry is shipped to Britain almost exclusively in bottle, but the use of sherrywood casks for aging contines unabated.
