Barrel nose: Whisky-sniffing dog hunts bad casks

Rocco was trained for the role for six months and staff have made him a special kennel
EDINBURGH (AFP) - A one-year-old cocker spaniel named Rocco has been employed to sniff out imperfections in wooden whisky barrels at a Scottish distillery with an aptly named boss.
Any problems he finds among the casks at Grant’s whisky distillery in Girvan, southwest Scotland, will be reported to global associate brand director Chris Wooff. Wood is a natural material, and the distilling of whisky is an organic process, so our job for Grant’s Whisky is to make sure that everything is perfect as the whisky ages in the oak casks, Wooff said.
