Frequently asked
What are quarter casks?
Smaller casks approximately 125 litres in size — roughly one-quarter of a standard 500L butt or half of a 250L hogshead. Smaller casks provide more wood-to-whisky surface area contact, accelerating oak character development. Historically used before larger casks became standard.
Why 48% ABV?
Higher-strength expression preserves aromatic compounds that chill-filtration and dilution can strip. Quarter Cask is bottled at 48% specifically to complement the concentrated cask influence. Serious whisky enthusiast presentation standard.
