The recent BBC investigation into whisky cask fraud has thrown a harsh spotlight on a growing problem within the spirits world – transparency, or the lack of it. Outdated manual systems and paper certificates – which can be easily forged or duplicated – have left whisky cask ownership wide open to fraud, eroding trust and shaking investor confidence. Now for the good news… solutions exist, and many in the industry are already taking steps forward. But isolated fixes aren’t enough. The whisky world, steeped in centuries of tradition and craftsmanship, needs a coordinated, digital-first approach to ownership and transparency. It’s time to move beyond paper (and excel!).

A conversation with The Foundry Vault - the importance of transparency, traceability and trust in maturation. Faced with growing compliance demands and bound by the constraints of Excel, The Foundry Vault , the UK’s largest Irish Whiskey maturation facility, needed support with three crucial elements of their business - transparency, traceability and trust. They were looking to move away from the headache of manually managing cask data, and all the inaccuracies and risks that brought. They wanted to digitalise their entire operation and prepare for growth as they increased their warehouse capacity. Their wishlist for a technology partner? A solid understanding of the complexities of third-party maturation and the evolving regulatory landscape they operate in. Plus, a platform that was, above all else, easy-to-use and intuitive for everyday workflows. They wanted the move to digital to be smooth.
