Single cask whisky from Caskshare

We also have the perfect option for whisky afficionados. Caskshare offers the unique anticipation that comes with whisky’s distilling and ageing process, without the limitations of having to outlay and invest in a whole cask.

The new online platform offers an accessible and easy-to-use experience, guiding customers through methods, age, styles and provenance. Buyers can choose from a wide range of casks, from ex-Bourbon to old sherry casks, all of which will impart a distinctive flavour and nose. A share in a cask is an investment with character, an incredibly unique gift for Father’s Day. Our recommendation is a very rare 1989 single grain from the Cambus grain distillery that closed in 1993, matured in an ex-bourbon cask, due to be bottled in July 2021. Order online here.
