The cask builder

Fifty-eight woods. One cask. Yours.

Pick the liquid, pick the barrel, then walk the wood library — sherry butts out of Jerez, twenty-five-year Colheita pipes, Japanese mizunara, our own Magma toast. Build a spec, send it round the group, bring it to us with something to argue about.

01
The liquid

Start with what goes in the barrel.

All three are triple-distilled Irish spirit from our partner distilleries, filled new into first-fill ex-bourbon American oak. The difference is the mash and the still.

02
The barrel

How big, and how many seats.

Bigger wood matures slower and gives more bottles. Smaller wood works faster and harder. The seat count follows the size — you want everyone leaving with a case, not a bottle.

Fill strength

63.4% · cask strength

You cut it back by hand on the Lay-Down day, hydrometer in the jar, until the group agrees the number. This is the standard entry strength.

Term in the bond

10–20 years

Storage, insurance and gauging for the agreed term sit in the cask agreement. Extending is a written conversation, not a surprise letter.

Name on the head

Stencilled on the head, signed across by everyone who turns up, re-signed at the Marriage.

03
The wood library

Where the flavour actually comes from.

Fifty-eight seasoned and virgin woods, profiled and held for finishing. Some sit in the library year-round. Some are one cask, once. Tap any of them to read what the wood does to the whiskey.

Your finish is called at the Reckoning — year three, in person, at the bench.

Once it's yours

This same builder becomes your login.

The builder and the portal are one thing. Before you buy, it's a spec you pass round the group. After you buy, every seat-holder gets a key to it — the cask record, the progression samples, the label as it develops, and the next trip.

Your spec

Send it round. Then send it to us.

Nothing here is a quotation and nothing is locked. The spec is a starting point for the consultation — we'll talk wood availability, term, seats and the real number, then you decide as a group.

A seat is a share of a barrel, not an investment. We make no claims about value, return or resale.
