Good luck.
Yep, I think they sell them to Scotch Whiskey distilleries. I believe that M.O.R., and a few other of our friends, visited a single malt distillery in the States a while back. Although they wouldn't qualify for true "Scotch Whiskey" staves, as they are not in Scotland, but I imagine they would be easier to acquire than used staves from across the Atlantic.
