What is single cask whisky?

Single cask whisky is produced by one distillery using one type of malt or grain. It is then aged in a single cask without a second maturation process.

How is single cask whisky different from other types of whisky?

Single cask whisky has a sweeter taste compared to double or triple cask whisky. For example, whisky matured more than 20 years in multiple casks will have a stronger flavour profile and taste woodier.

What flavours can be found in single cask whisky?

Depending on the malt or grain, single cask whisky can taste sweet or spicy. The flavours from the cask, such as bourbon or sherry, will also be incorporated into the whisky.
