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
January 1972

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Robert L Nicholson in January 1972, we are transported to the heart of Scotland's Knockando Whisky Distillery. The image showcases an employee meticulously inspecting the casks in the distillery's bonded warehouse, a crucial step in the whisky-making process. With a focused expression on his face and donning a sturdy apron, the dedicated workman ensures that each barrel is maturing perfectly. These wooden barrels hold the precious liquid for a minimum of three years, but typically between 8 and 25 years, allowing it to develop its rich flavors and distinctive character. The bonded warehouses themselves exude an air of tradition and craftsmanship. Cool and earth-floored, they provide an ideal environment with consistent temperature and humidity levels necessary for optimal maturation. It is within these hallowed walls that time seems to stand still as nature works its magic on every drop of whisky stored here. Interestingly, as mentioned by Nicholson himself, these barrels lose about 2% alcohol per annum due to evaporation - known affectionately as "the angels' share". This natural phenomenon adds further mystique to the artistry behind creating fine whiskies like those produced at Knockando. This remarkable photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to Scotland's proud whisky industry during the vibrant era of the 1970s.
