Master Blender
How Vapour can help you
For a Master Blender, every detail matters. The ability to track a spirit’s journey from production to maturation and bottling is crucial in crafting consistent, high-quality blends. Vapour provides a powerful, data-rich SaaS platform that enhances control over blending operations, offering detailed production histories, seamless operational planning, and comprehensive spirit tracking; all in one place.
With high-quality, granular data, Master Blenders can make precise decisions based on accurate records of spirit characteristics, maturation conditions, and cask histories. Every stage - from distillation parameters to cask movement, storage conditions, and previous blends - is logged, ensuring complete traceability. This level of detail eliminates guesswork and helps maintain a consistent flavour profile across batches.
Vapour also enhances operational planning, making it easier to organise and execute blends efficiently. With full visibility of bulk stocks, Master Blenders can forecast requirements, allocate resources effectively, and streamline bottling preparation. The Vapour portal provides a centralised view of all maturing stock, even when stored in multiple, disparate warehouses. This connectivity ensures that all available spirit is accounted for, allowing for smarter blending decisions and more efficient use of inventory.
Many Blenders rely on complex spreadsheets or software with limited features to manage blending formulas. Vapour brings this intelligence into a centralised digital system, ensuring they are easily accessible, securely stored, and seamlessly integrated into planning and production. No more searching through files or risking data loss - everything is structured, connected, and ready when needed.
Exciting new features are on the horizon, including Bulk Stock Planning and Blending tools. These upcoming enhancements will provide even greater flexibility in selecting, balancing, and scheduling blends, allowing for data-driven decision-making at every stage.

Key Vapour Features
Unrivalled Maturation Data
Vapour provides detailed maturation data, capturing every aspect of a cask’s lifecycle from filling to disgorging. Each cask entry includes strength, LPA, cask type, warehouse location, and ownership details, plus much, much more, ensuring full traceability. Ongoing data such as maturation losses, regauging, reracking, and sampling are recorded, providing a complete history of maturation. This allows distilleries and spirits businesses to optimise stock management, forecast inventory availability, and make informed decisions on blending and cask allocations, as well as informing operations such as bottling schedules. With Vapour, every cask is an open book, giving unparalleled insight into maturation performance and long-term spirit quality
Cask History Timeline for Full Traceability
Vapour’s Cask History Timeline provides a detailed, time-stamped record of every action taken on a cask from filling to disgorging. Each cask’s journey is meticulously tracked, including fill date, warehouse movements, regauging, reracking, sampling, and strength or LPA changes. Investors and distilleries can access a clear, chronological view of a cask’s development, ensuring transparency and accountability. This timeline helps distilleries and spirits businesses optimise maturation strategies and provides cask owners with confidence in their investments. With Vapour, every cask tells its own detailed story, all in one easily accessible, secure platform
Traceability
Unrivalled visibility, traceability and accessibility. For distillers, for cask managers, for bottlers, for investors. Every action in Vapour has a detailed audit trail to support your compliance or quality management needs
Cask Inventory Reporting
Flexible inventory reporting by warehouse location, zone, cask type, customer
Exportable to many formats, including PDF and Excel, you can even check historic inventory to interrogate stock movements!
Cask Location Tracking
Vapour's unique data model allows every cask movement to be recorded and displayed as part of the cask record, allowing greater insights on loss management, vacuity planning and operations
Maturation Issue Management
Vapour's in-built intelligence means key issues are flagged automatically, such as drops in LPA or bulk liquid. You can also define your own issue types
Your team are enabled to report issues by merely scanning a cask and flagging issues for investigation
Follow the Cask
Vapour's philosophy from day one has been to follow the cask. Every cask in Vapour is treated as an asset, and liquid is added and moved between casks as part of the operations undertaken on the platform
A rich picture of both the spirit and cask history is built up, allowing value to be added to downstream operations such as blending and bottling
Cask Tags
Want to add a bit more detail to your cask record or add something not in the standard cask record? Our highly flexible cask tag is both highly functional and descriptive
Use it to describe the wood, details of the supplier, which forest it came from, or allocate it to a grouping for blending and filling later. The possibilities are endlessly flexible
Spirit Tagging
Intelligently add tags to your spirit as you produce it for retrieval later in your spirit's life. Add details of the field your barley came from or comment on the weather.
The tags you add will live along the way as your spirit makes its journey to a warehouse or a bottle. You're a simple search or click away from finding this and any similar records with the same tag
Batch Tracking
Track and trace spirit batches to their final destination in a bottle. Whether that's via a maturation process or not, be able to track and trace batches all the way back to the materials intake and any "tags" added along the way
