If you take a look at these videos ua-cam.com/video/BT9th8eircM/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/JieEzi2lRG0/v-deo.html at 0:47 you will see the heads being made. They actually hold the staves together in the head using dowel pins. The staves are pressed together, then cut and once inserted into the cask are held together by pressure created by the hoops. Glue obviously cannot be used as it would impact the whisky.
Thx again for some interesting production videos!
Do you know how the staves which make up the heads/ends of the casks are held together?
