Essential Tips For Collecting An Irish Whiskey Cask

When considering the purchase of a cask of whiskey from Irish Trading Whiskey, it’s essential to take into account several important factors. With so many options available, it can be challenging to know where to start. In this article, we’ll guide you through the key aspects every potential cask owner should consider before making a purchase.
Time
The first consideration is the amount of time you’re willing to wait for your investment to mature. New Make Spirit must be aged for at least three years and a day before it can legally be sold as Irish Whiskey. While three years is the minimum aging period, typically, the longer you’re prepared to wait, the more valuable your investment can become. If you’re looking for a shorter holding period, casks of aged spirit are available, though these are usually more expensive.
Budget
Your budget is another crucial factor. The price of casks can vary significantly, depending on factors like age, distillery, and rarity. It’s important to clearly define your budget before you start your search to set realistic expectations. Remember, the initial purchase price is just the beginning—additional costs such as storage and insurance should also be factored in if they’re not already included in your purchase.
Distillery
The type of whiskey you’re interested in is also a key consideration when selecting a cask. Whether you prefer the rich, smooth flavours characteristic of Irish whiskey or are seeking something more unique, your preferences can help narrow down your options. This is especially important if you plan to bottle the whiskey yourself, as it ensures you’re investing in a product you’ll truly enjoy.
