Private Cask Collection

Introducing our Private Cask Collection

Own a unique whisky or rum, from your very own cask

What if you could own something truly unique? A whisky or rum bottled just for you – perhaps even with your name on it?
­
We’ve launched our Private Cask Collection; an opportunity for spirits connoisseurs to own a truly exclusive whisky or rum. Using small octave casks that previously held fortified wines, we’ve matured a range of classic Scotch single malts and rums. The result is a series of unique spirits, each full of character and depth.

What is an Octave Cask?

What is an octave cask?

An octave is one-eighth the size of a traditional whisky butt, and holds just 62 litres. The small size means the liquid takes on the essence of the cask much more quickly, leading to an intense and rich flavour.

­

Each octave produces up to 90 bottles of finished spirit, making this an accessible way to buy an entire – and unique – cask.

How we created the Octave Casks

How we created these

As one of the oldest independent bottlers in the UK, Berry Bros. & Rudd has access to a vast selection of unique single malt whiskies and rums from iconic distilleries. Our experience means we can pair these spirits with their perfect octave cask, previously used to hold fortified wines such as Moscatel, Fino or Oloroso.

­

The entire process is overseen by our specialists; from selecting the liquids filled into the octaves to tasting the spirit as it evolves in cask to determine the perfect moment for bottling. The result is a truly unique spirits; these are distinctively flavoured and bottled at the perfect stage of maturity.
