For the first three years since opening, Benbecula Distillery will release cask offerings for purchase so you can be a part of the Benbecula journey. This 2025 offering is the second of the three releases, leaving limited time to be a part of The Spirit of the Hebrides. To secure your cask, we require a £300 deposit.
Cask Options
Each 250L cask will be filled in 2025 at 63.5% ABV.
Palo Cortado Sherry Hogshead (250L) – Price £8,000
Our Master Distiller, Brendan McCarron, chose his favourite sherry cask to work with: Palo Cortado. After the success of the PX and Oloroso sherry casks in 2024, we will use Palo Cortado as this rare, unusual cask gives a deep and rich flavour, perfect to guide our unique spirit.
Bourbon Hogshead (250L) – Price £7,250
We will use high-quality, heavily charred American White Oak casks which will match the spirit character of Benbecula.
