The Cotswolds
Distillery are offering a limited number
of single malt whisky casks for sale to
the public.
Are looking for a unique Father's Day
gift for your whisky mad dad, something
which he can treasure for years to come
or perhaps you just want to spoil
yourself? Have you considered buying
your very own cask of single malt
whisky. The Cotswolds Distillery are
offering you the chance to purchase your
very own limited edition cask of their
first ever Single Malt whisky.
They
are offering you or the opportunity to
visit the distillery - based in the
leafy Warwickshire countryside - fill
your very own numbered cask and watch it
age into the distillery’s distinctive
Single Malt, the first to be distilled
in this area of the UK.
Containing 200 litres of the premium
spirit, the barrels are American oak
first-fill ex-Bourbon, delivering a
traditional finish with characteristic
vanilla, honey and tropical fruit
flavour notes. These perfectly
complement the light, fruity character
of the distillery’s spirit, which was
awarded 94/100 ‘Liquid Gold’ in the last
two editions of Jim Murray’s Whisky
Bible.
If early reviews of the spirit the
Cotswold's Company produces is anything
to go by their whisky could prove to be
something special in years to come and
owning a cask of their first ever single
malt could possibly be a good investment
whether you choose to bottle and drink
it or sell it on in years to come. It is
also worth baring in mind that fewer
distilleries offer cask ownership these
days so it isn't an opportunity that
comes along often, but don't hang around
if you are interested as only a limited
number of casks are available.
Ten years’ storage in the distillery’s
bonded warehouse will be provided, but
lucky recipients can opt to age their
whisky for as long as they want,
perfecting the liquid to suit their
palette with annual check ins.
A certificate of ownership and expert
advice from their team of whisky
connoisseurs will also be included in
the £2,995 price tag.
