Complex & Intriguing Single Malts
Experience the newest collection from Cask 88 that is once again raising the bar. The “Eighty Eight Series” is an innovative limited edition set that allows enthusiasts to experience the impact of cask size on the maturation process. Premium single malt whisky from four of Scotland’s leading distilleries has been aged in “Quarter Casks” which hold just a fraction of the volume of a traditional cask. The result is a series of expressions that mature more quickly delivering powerful, complex and highly intriguing flavour profiles. Just 88 sets have been produced, making each of these bottles one of the most rare releases of the year. Don’t miss out, reserve a bottle or the complete set today.
Experience Sherry Quarter Casks
Each of the expressions in the “Eighty Eight Series” have been finished in an ex-sherry quarter cask. Quarter casks, at one eighth of the size of a standard whisky cask, are capable of holding approximately 50 litres of liquid, yielding just 88 bottles of whisky. “The smaller cask size maximises the contact between the spirit and the wood, theoretically producing a whisky with a stronger, more complex flavour,” said Cask 88 Sales Director Patrick Costello. “Whereas the wider industry favours larger casks to produce whisky on scale, we wanted to select something a little different, and focus on producing small batch whiskies that excite the senses.”
Pushing The Boundaries
Having recently picked up two gold awards at the International Wine & Spirit Competition for the first release in their Scottish Folklore inspired whisky series, Edinburgh based Scottish whisky broker and independent bottler Cask 88 have quickly risen to become recognized for groundbreaking expressions that are in a league of their own. The “Eighty Eight Series” pushes the boundaries even further by combining an innovative maturation process with elegant bottle designs.
