All about Casks Quartercasks.com is named after the type of cask used for secondary maturation of our whiskies - “The Quarter Cask”. (We also use Octaves). The following cask types are currently used by the Scotch Whisky industry: |
|||
| Butt | Approx. volume 500 litres | 110 gallons | Approx 700 bottles |
| Hogshead | Approx. volume 250 litres | 55 gallons | Approx 350 bottles |
| Barrel | Approx. volume 175 litres | 40 gallons | Approx 250 bottles |
| Quarter | Approx. volume 125 litres | 27 gallons | Approx 175 bottles |
| Octave | Approx. volume 50 litres | 11 gallons | Approx 70 bottles |
All casks used are constructed from well seasoned oak. The smaller casks are favoured as the interaction between spirit and wood is far more prolific and results in a more balanced whisky. The casks are ex bourbon and ex sherry and occasionally we use Scottish Oak. |

Smaller casks means that buying is easier on the pocket too, producing around 70 – 175 bottles depending on the cask type. (Bigger casks can be bought if desired.) |
