Autocask® – The Future of Cask Storage Is Now
Autocask® is the world’s first fully automated ATEX-certified cask shuttle storage solution, engineered and manufactured in Scotland by Thistle Systems.
Autocask® eliminates manual handling, allowing any cask to be moved, weighed, rotated, and tracked at every stage of its life in the warehouse, whilst increasing capacity in the same footprint.
And thanks to our proprietary in-house software, every movement is logged to create a complete digital record and unexpected losses are flagged for immediate attention.
At the heart of Autocask® is our Atex-rated smart carrier technology, custom-built to meet the whisky industry’s strictest safety standards while handling every cask — often worth millions of pounds — with the utmost care and respect.
Supporting the carriers are state-of-the-art vertical lifts with advanced camera technology, ensuring precision, safety, and total traceability.
The result is a storage solution that delivers unmatched efficiency, flexibility, and peace of mind for distillers worldwide.
Born and bred in Scotland, and embedded within the whisky industry, Thistle Systems has completed over 100 cask storage installations across the UK and Europe. Autocask® represents the next step in that journey — a system designed from the ground up for the unique demands of cask maturation.
