Whisky bond

A whisky bond, a type of bonded warehouse, is a building where whisky on which excise duty has not yet been paid is stored under lock and key.[1]

The Cheapside Street whisky bond fire in Glasgow on 28 March 1960 was Britain's worst peacetime fire services disaster.

There are four common types of bonded warehouses used for whisky casks: dunnage, racked, pallet, and rackhouse.
