The price includes the filling of your cask, storage and insurance for the duration of its
maturation up to 10 years from the date of filling, and an annual sample of your spirit will be
prepared for you. Bottling, labelling, duty and VAT are not included, and will be charged at
the point of disgorgement.

Depending on availability, you will be able to choose from the below three casks:
– American Oak, ex-bourbon.
– European Oak, ex-sherry (Oloroso).
– European Oak, ex-sherry (Pedro Ximenez)

Ex-bourbon casks are typically 200 litres. Ex-sherry casks can vary between suppliers but are
typically between 225 -250 litres.

To be legally considered Scotch whisky the minimum maturation period is three years and one
day. It is generally accepted that a longer maturation period results in a better spirit, however
the cask you choose will have an impact on this and our team will advise on an individual basis

Generally, around 2% of the liquid inside the casks is lost each year due to evaporation,
although it may be that certain casks experience greater or lesser loss over time. We have
no way of predicting exactly how much whisky will evaporate during the period of time that
your whisky is maturing, however we will be reviewing the casks regularly to ensure there
is no abnormal loss
