Nk’uburyo buhambaye bwo kubika no kwerekana whisky, uguhitamwo ibikoresho ntibigira ico bikoze gusa ku buryo bwo kuzigama whisky ariko kandi biragira ico bikoze ku bumenyi bw’abaguzi n’ishusho y’isoko y’ico kimenyetso. Ibikoresho bisanzwe vyo mu cupa rya whisky biriho ubu ni nk’ibirahuri, amabuye y’agaciro, n’ibikoresho bimwebimwe vyihariye, kimwe cose kikaba gifise ubushobozi bwihariye n’ingene gikoreshwa.
Ibirahuri ni co kintu gisanzwe gikoreshwa mu gukora amacupa ya whisky, gikoreshwa cane kubera ko gikomeye cane mu bijanye n’imiti, kigaragara neza, kandi kikaba kidatwara amahera menshi. Amacupa asanzwe y’ibirahuri akenshi akozwe mu birori vya soda-lime, bitanga ubushobozi bwiza cane bwo guhangana n’aside kandi bikabuza neza imiti ihinduka hagati ya whisky n’ivyo irimwo, gutyo bikaba bizigama uburyohe bwa whisky. Ikindi kandi, ukuntu umuco unyura mu birori bituma abaguzi bashobora kwihweza neza ibara n’ugutomoka kw’iyo whisky, ikintu gihambaye cane mu gutanga whisky y’agaciro kanini. Ariko rero, ibirahuri bisanzwe birakomeye cane kandi ntibishobora guhangana n’ibintu bikomeye, ivyo bikaba bisaba ko umuntu yitwararika cane igihe ariko arabitwara no kubibika.
Ibirahuri vy’amabuye y’agaciro ni ikindi kintu gisanzwe gikoreshwa mu macupa ya whisky y’agaciro kanini. Igishushanyo caco gikomeye cane be n’ubushobozi bwaco bwo guca ibibatsi buhambaye cane bituma igikoresho kigira umuco mwinshi cane, ivyo bikaba bituma umuntu yumva ko ari ikintu c’agaciro. Ibirahuri vy’amabuye y’agaciro akenshi birimwo amabuye y’agaciro canke ibindi bihimba vy’ivyuma, nk’ivyuma vy’ivyuma vyitwa barium canke potassium oxide, kugira ngo bibe vyiza kandi bibe vyiza. Ibirahuri vy’amabuye y’agaciro bifise agaciro kubera uburemere bwavyo bwinshi n’ijwi ryiza, ariko mu myaka iheze, kubera ingorane z’amagara, ibirahuri vy’amabuye y’agaciro bitagira amabuye y’agaciro-vyaciye bimenyekana cane. Ingaruka nk’izo nyene z’amaso zishikwako mu kwongerako ibikoresho bibungabunga ibidukikije nka zinc na titanium. Naho amacupa y’amabuye y’agaciro ateye igomwe cane, araremereye kandi arazimvye, kandi akenshi akoreshwa mu gupfunyika whisky y’ibitabu bike canke y’abakoraniriza hamwe.
Uretse ibirahuri n’amabuye y’agaciro, amacupa makeyi yihariye ya whisky yoshobora kuba akozwe mu bikoresho vy’ivyuma, mu vyuma canke mu bikoresho vy’ivyuma, ariko ivyo bikoresho bikoreshwa canecane mu guhingura ibintu vy’ubuhinga canke mu bintu vy’icibutso aho gukoreshwa mu vy’ubudandaji. Amacupa y’ivyuma aratanga imiterere n’amabara bidasanzwe, ariko ntagira ikidodo n’ugukomera. Ku rundi ruhande, ivyuma birashobora kugira ico bikoze ku buryohe bwa whisky, ni co gituma bikoreshwa cane.
Muri rusangi, uguhitamwo ibikoresho vyo gukoresha mu gukora amacupa ya whisky bitegerezwa kuba bihuje n’ingene bikora, ko bimeze neza be n’ingene bishobora kugurwa. Ibirahuri biguma ari vyo bikundwa n’inganda kubera imiterere yavyo y’imiti ihamye kandi ikoreshwa cane, mu gihe ibirahuri vy’amabuye y’agaciro bifise ikibanza gihambaye mw’isoko ry’ibintu vy’agaciro kanini. Mu gihe kizoza, uko abantu barushiriza kumenya ibidukikije, gukoresha ibikoresho bishobora gusubirwamwo canke bifise uburemere buke bishobora kurushiriza kwagura urutonde rw’ibikoresho vyo gukoresha mu gukora amacupa ya whisky.
