The Private Cask Syndicates
Case in Cask - Our Fourth Release
The Shop


scotchwhisky.com currently has one exceptional and interesting cask for our Case-in-Cask product . This is an amusing but very rare and limited offer for malt whisky drinkers who have a fascination for following the effects of maturation and who would like to influence the date of when their whisky is bottled. This offer allows our members to buy 9 litres (the same as 12 x 75cl bottles) of 5 - 12 year old whisky still in wood. We now have fourteen complete syndicates, (sold out) - see below, with members from all over the world. The first two syndicates were launched in November 2000.

 
What you get.  Along with the ownership of 9 litres of cask strength malt whisky in wood, Case-in-Cask owners will also receive
  • 3cl sample of the whisky to provide them with initial analysis of the current product. 
  • A signed Stock Certificate (click on image on right)
  • A copy of the Constitution & Rules (see more below) of the syndicate (these run to 6 pages and are designed to allow proper and fair management of the cask)
  • Password protected entry to an online discussion forum so they may discuss the affairs of the syndicate in relation to items like proposed bottling dates and further analysis of their maturing goods.

Cask 561 of an exceptional Peated Irish Malt Whisky from Cooley distillery - cask filled 1997 (a fresh-fill American ex-bourbon barrel) - current age 5 years

· Cost in bond £ 125.00 for 9 litres
· Syndicate & service set up £ 35.00
· Limited membership - each cask is limited to 20 Case-in-Cask members
· Likely bottling date - although the decision for setting a bottling date is controlled by the purchasing 'members', we would guess that this cask is suited for bottling in 3-7 years which would provide a cask strength bottling of 8 to 12 Years Old.
· Members can request further samples - at cost - to help decide on the best time for bottling.
· Additional charges will then be raised for bottling (approximately £3 per bottle for bottling), duty (if paid in the UK, at around £8.75 per bottle).
· Angel's share - 9 litre quantity reduced by 2% per annum.
· Cask storage (share) charged at £ 3.00 per annum.
· Cask services are provided by official HM customs and excise agents, who also run the distillers.com Private Cask service.
