PRIVATE WHISKY CASKS

Our whisky is most valuable to us once it has matured and we can sell it as Port of Leith Single Malt.
And, ultimately, we want to keep as much of it as possible to ourselves…

However, we also love the idea that some of our most ardent supporters can own, not just a piece of the distillery, but their own private whisky. A finite stock whose owner will rejoice in its use for celebratory birthdays, wedding gifts, Christmas dinners where you treat yourself to a bottle of the good stuff, and the ultimate and final toasts for those no longer with us.

You in turn can take pride in your access to one of the most restricted cask offers of any new distillery in Scotland.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • For our 2025 offering we have selected two cask types: a 250-litre capacity, First Fill Oloroso, seasoned with dry Oloroso sherry for 18 months. We have also selected 200-litre capacity ex-Bourbon casks from the famous Heaven Hill Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky. We can expect that American oak will provide a sweetness, with hints of vanilla and coconut, whilst the European oak will provide richer and darker flavours like dried fruits and sultanas.

  • We will design a bottle and label that will fit the brand and quality of the whisky you are buying. Some personalisation will be available on the label. For legal reasons the distillery name must appear on the label. Basic artwork assistance can be provided by our team or we can suggest suitable partners. 

    Should you wish to bottle the whisky into a different bottle, this may be possible however we reserve the right to maintain the consistency of the brand across the bottlings.

  • While we can’t guarantee this, if we are able to, we will almost certainly seek to buy part or all of the cask back from you.

  • We would never promote this as an investment and the terms and conditions of our sale mean that you can’t sell and remove the cask from our warehouse. Once you receive the bottles, they are yours to do what you wish. The value of those bottles in the future will be driven by the rarity of what you are buying (this is a very restricted programme) and the value we build in the Port of Leith Distillery brand over the next decade.
