Help Turn Exceptional Scotch Whisky Casks into World-Class Bottles

We’re looking for a Bottling & Production Coordinator to help manage the journey from cask to finished bottle for a growing whisky business working with international clients.

This is a hands-on coordination role at the centre of the production process. You’ll oversee bottling projects from start to finish, ensuring every detail is correct, every supplier is aligned, and every release meets the highest standards.

Working with contract bottlers, warehouses, designers and logistics partners, you’ll transform single casks into finished products ready for global markets.

If you love the detail behind whisky releases and thrive on keeping complex projects running smoothly, this could be the perfect role.

  • Maintain project timelines and manage multiple small-batch releases simultaneously

Cask & Liquid Management

  • Maintain accurate records of cask inventory and sampling
  • Coordinate sampling and quality checks
  • Track ABV and outturn calculations

  • Support export documentation and regulatory requirements
  • Maintain batch records and traceability

Logistics & Inventory

  • Coordinate movement of casks and finished goods
  • Track inventory and availability for sales teams
  • Support shipment planning and dispatch

Quality Assurance

  • Conduct pre-bottling checks and approvals
  • Monitor bottling runs for consistency and quality
  • Investigate and resolve production discrepancies

 

What We're Looking For

Essential

  • 2+ years experience working with single cask whisky production
  • Excellent organisation and project management skills
  • Strong attention to detail
  • Experience managing multiple production timelines
  • Comfortable working with spreadsheets and inventory systems

Desirable

  • Experience in whisky or spirits bottling
  • Knowledge of excise procedures and export documentation
  • Supplier management experience
  • Understanding of label compliance and international markets
  • Full UK driving licence

The Person

You’ll likely be someone who:

  • Is exceptionally organised and detail-driven
  • Enjoys managing multiple projects at once
  • Solves problems calmly and practically
  • Communicates well with suppliers and production partners
  • Takes ownership of projects and sees them through

What’s on Offer

  • A role at the centre of a growing whisky bottling operation
  • Exposure to international whisky releases
  • £100 monthly wellness contribution
  • Commission of £20 per completed single cask bottling project
  • Opportunities to grow with an expanding whisky business
