For those who prefer their legacy barrel-aged.
Imagine claiming a barrel that’s entirely your own — a cask slumbering in our rackhouse with your name whispered into the wood. We’re opening a limited number of these beauties to our earliest co-conspirators, complete with three distinct mash bills, custom aging touches, and a finishing flourish worthy of your signature.

Pick what suits your soul — sweet, bold, or delightfully spicy.
What Your Cask Experience IncludesAnnual Visitation (yes, you can visit your baby)
Each year, you’ll join one of our distillers for a private tasting straight from your cask. We’ll talk progress, personality, and next steps — whether that’s continuing the aging adventure or gearing up for bottling.
Custom Aging Enhancements (optional, but oh-so-tempting)
After your first annual check-in, you can choose to add flavouring staves — think French oak, cherry, applewood, and other charming characters — depending on availability.
A little extra wood can be… transformative.
Finishing Touches
Near the end of the aging journey, you’ll have the option to finish your spirit in something special: rum, tequila, red wine, sherry — whatever intriguing casks we’ve coaxed into the distillery at the time.
Bottle It Your Way
Before bottling, we’ll do one final tasting to land on the perfect expression — cask strength or your ideal ABV.
You can choose our signature cask program label or collaborate with our graphic designer on a custom design (includes initial concept + three revisions).
And yes, you’re invited to roll up your sleeves on bottling day: empty the cask, fill your bottles, cork, label, box — the whole rite of passage. It’s as satisfying as it sounds.
Solo or Shared
Claim a barrel yourself or gather a crew and split the adventure. Whisky is even better when the stories come built-in.
