About Ross Morrison:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ross has been in the Whisky Industry for over 17 years, primarily constructing maturation bonds for numerous Distilleries all over Scotland. Ross has always had a keen interest in Whisky, both in the making and the drinking! While building maturation bonds for various clients, their complaint regarding the Angels\u2019 Share was always the same. They were perplexed! Ross had an exciting idea to reduce the losses incurred during maturation and with the help of his Team, \u2018The Scotch Bonnet\u2019 was born.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Scotch Bonnet is a specifically-designed \u2018Cap\u2019 that is placed on top of palletised spirit barrels and significantly reduces the evaporation losses by 50%! The Scotch Bonnet is now fighting the war against the Angels in Distilleries all around the Globe, including, but not limited to – Jack Daniels, Distell, Cazcanes Tequila, White & Mackay, Brew Dog Distilling & Co, and enlightening many more daily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
