LIVE LOT: Own a Cask of single malt Scotch Whisky
Description
LIVE AUCTION LOT:
MacLean & Bruce are delighted to offer an exclusive chance to own a cask of Ardnamurchan new make spirit - a truly special addition for any whisky enthusiast or investor.
Ardnamurchan Distillery, on Scotland's rugged and remote west coast, is renowned for its commitment to sustainability, craftsmanship, and production of exceptional spirit. Their whisky beautifully reflects the wild, maritime surroundings, with a character that matures into something truly remarkable over time.
The winning bidder will own their cask outright, with the MacLean & Bruce Cask Sales Team providing expert guidance (free of charge) on cask ownership - from storage and maturation to future bottling decisions.
The cask will be an American Standard Barrel (ASB), the gold standard for bourbon distilleries and the most commonly used for scotch production. The ASB holds 200 litres (52 gallons) of liquid, this cask is required by law to be made of American oak, with most of the wood being sourced from the misty slopes of the Ozark or Appalachian mountains. The wood must also be charred before usage and will only ever hold one filling of bourbon, before it is sold on to be used for scotch whisky. The bourbon and American Oak combine to create a more ‘vanilla palette’ with a more golden colour.
To make this experience even more memorable, the lot also includes a private tour and tasting for four at Ardnamurchan Distillery, courtesy of the team there, headed up by OG Alex Bruce.
This is more than just whisky - it's a journey into the heart of Scotland's whisky-making tradition.
Bid now for your chance to own a piece of Scotland's whisky heritage.
(The buyer will need to start to pay their own storage and insurance within 3 months, MacLean and Bruce will cover it for a maximum 3 months.)
Guide Price: £3,500
