First year's storage and insurance at Castlelaw included; £100 a year per cask after that.
TWI-0197
Refill · Filled 27 June 2016 · 57.6% ABV
You're buying one whole, individually identified cask of Scotch whisky, held in bond at Castlelaw in Scotland. Once Castlelaw registers you as its owner, the cask is yours, in your own name, in your own Castlelaw account. It stays in Scotland. Bottling it or bringing whisky into the United States is a separate, later choice, arranged by you through licensed providers, and isn't part of this purchase.

Yes: a named Teithmill cask.
In bond at Lowland Bond, and moved to Castlelaw at our cost if held elsewhere.
Yes. The warehouse registers you as owner, and you can confirm it with them directly, without us.
Yes: the price, what it covers, and what storage and insurance cost from your second year are shown above. Duty and VAT apply only if the cask is removed from bond.
No. You are buying whisky, not an investment. Whisky casks are not regulated by the FCA. We make no claim about future value or resale price.
Yes: any time before the warehouse confirms the cask in your name, and for 14 days after.
Evaporation: a cask loses some of its volume every year while it matures (the angels' share), so there will be less spirit over time.
Falling strength: the alcohol strength usually drops slowly as the cask matures.
The 40% rule: spirit below 40% alcohol by volume cannot be called Scotch whisky, so a cask left too long can fall below it.
No flavour promise: every cask matures differently, and nobody can promise how yours will taste.

Your own account
We set up your Castlelaw account in your own name, free of charge; we can't access it, and you're notified when your cask arrives.
Moving your cask: this cask is held at another bonded warehouse in Scotland. Before it's registered in your name, we move it to Castlelaw, in bond and at our cost, and Castlelaw then registers it. Moves take 6 weeks or less, so we aim to register your cask within 6 weeks and 5 working days of your payment clearing.
You'll verify your identity and age before paying. The minimum age depends on your country.
