Spirit loss due to evaporation and weeping through the timber of the cask. The rate varies from cask to cask and place to place. Expect between 10-15% p.a. loss.
Maybe, maybe not! We only guarantee that it will be good to drink at two years. Experience tells us that the optimum age for malt spirit in 20 litre oak casks is around 2-3 years, but every cask is different. That’s part of the fun and challenge of making whisky!
Yes, you can enter another agreement for storage at Tin Shed Distilling Co, but you might prefer to refill the cask at home from your bottles so you can keep a close eye on the whisky and experience it at different ages.
No, our licence requires us to deliver the whisky in bottles. Also casks are notorious for developing leaks in transit, so it would not be a good idea to use the cask as the shipping container.
No, the two years is a statutory period required before the spirit can be called whisky and gives us the opportunity to manage the maturation of your cask and guarantee the quality.
Yes, just call us first to arrange a time so we can get it out for you; it could be buried under other casks.
Yes.
No, taps tend to be more trouble than they are worth. They can leak or get snapped off, which would be an expensive accident.
No, payment in full is required with your order.
You can share your cask with as many friends as you like, but the name on the cask is restricted to a maximum of 15-20 characters.
Yes, provided we have the stock we will accommodate your choice.
