Buying a cask?

[playford]

I would be interested in buying a cask of Whisky for a private bottling for family, not for profit.

I see many barrels are bought for people as gifts or children who then sell them, is there a site I can buy casks for sale (re-sale), I have seen whiskybroker, thats about it??

Ideally I'd be after one of the 1995-6's casks of Tobermory (family connection to island).

I've heard these go for pretty reasonable, due to large amounts being made at this period?

I'm sure there is a simple answer that I am just not seeing.

There are many options but prices are than more doubled in the last few years.

You can check with Whisky Broker (for fair price and reasonable quality); occasional you can still get casks at Glengoyne distillery but their program is on hold at the moment (though still possible).

Many will suggest you some new build distilleries - they need money for keeping up the initial production.

so whiskey broker or direct to distillery is about it?

what about bottlers?
