Reply To: Macallan select oak single malt scotch

There is a large (120 page) article available on the cRc website about sherry casks and kashrus.
Bottom line, scotch has issues, switch to bourbon (better yet , use bottles that have hechsherim)
At the time when I read the article and became more machmir, I contacted the distillers to ask if they use sherry casks, some replied yes, even though sherry casks where not mentioned on the bottle.
At lakewood chassanas only bottles with hechsherim are allowed.
More and more brands are adopting hechsherim. If you are asking that means you care. Isn’t it better to be safe?
