It is every whisky lovers dream to have their own cask of whisky, whether buying a new make or an already mature cask it is the next step up from bottles and the peak for whisky collectors.

It is rarely possible to purchase mature casks from distilleries as they are valuable assets, used to put into future releases and official distillery bottlings. Strathcallan has access to casks to many distillery expressions and we offer these casks to clients who would like to create their very own exclusive product.

 The huge advantage of buying your own cask is that you can then either bottle it straight away and create your own label (strict rules and regulations apply when using a distilleries brand name) or hold onto the cask and age it further. Casks can also be re racked into different wood, can be finished in sherry for 3 – 6 months or part bottled – once yours, everything is up to you and we are available to assist you every step of the way.

If you have the demand for a large quantity of bottles then purchasing a cask can prove to be a good investment; the cost per bottle tends to be much more economical than purchasing large numbers of individual bottles. You also have the added bonus of having the bottles, decanters and boxes with your design on them. The major costs in private own label casks are the duties and taxes and Strathcallan will endeavour to help you in the import and export of your bottles.

Any whisky buyer will notice now that Non Age Statements are increasingly more common. If you are hunting around for a new, rare and unique whisky product then going down the cask route could be for you. Every cask, from its birth date, is registered and given provenance by each distillery, the certificates are then handed down to each new owner.

Having purchased a cask from us you are invited to visit your cask as well as tour the distillery where your cask originated from – from there you can see the whole process, from grain to bottle.
