Vapour is a cloud-based platform which digitises the entire warehouse and cask management process allowing the management of maturing stock at the touch of a button.
Regardless of where they may be in the world, cask owners and importers can now track their casks at the 20,000 sq. ft. bond in Newburgh via an app on their mobile phones. It also makes life much more straightforward for those running the bond.

The software upgrade comes as Spirtifilled’s investment in the last 12 months approaches the seven-figure mark, the dealership continuing to expand its client base, with recent investors coming from as far afield as Hong Kong and Canada. 

Torin Currie, warehouse manager, said: “You can tell the platform has been built around the needs of spirit producers and cask managers. From an operational perspective, this is going to be a game-changer not only for us but for our clients as well.

“A key feature of Vapour is its 3D mapping, allowing users to visualise exactly where their casks are stored. This interactive tool provides real-time insights into a cask’s ageing performance, helping cask owners track spirit maturation with confidence. 

“The customer experience is also improved as they can view their assets, check cask status, and access documentation with full transparency, which is something we are passionate about.”

The software investment comes in the wake of Spiritfilled, whose ambassador is Scotland rugby star Finn Russell, significantly upgrading its racking system to ensure the safe storage of up to 14,000 casks at Braeside Bond, while the firm also recently introduced its first electric fork lift truck.

Russell Spratley, co-founder and chief executive, added: “We have invested heavily and there is more to come as we continue to build trust with our customers. We want to do things properly to ensure the best possible experience and outcomes for our clients and investing in the right areas is key to that.”
