Every whisky begins its journey in a cask filled with a colorless spirit from the distillery stills. It’s only by the interaction between the wood and the liquid over time that this clear liquid becomes the prolific expression known as whisky. In fact, the spirit in new casks cannot even be labeled as whisky until a minimum maturation period of 3 years. New make casks offer the opportunity to get in at the very beginning of the aging process and are ideal for budget conscious investors looking for a long-term investment.
