Each oak cask gives the whiskey its own individual aroma and personality that can’t be exactly predefined. That in itself is one of the finesses of making whiskey.

Our master distiller will guide you with the choice of the cask and answer all your questions regarding how different types affect the development of whiskey’s character.

Maturation

Depending on the cask type the maturation takes from 3 to 7 years. The whiskey is matured in a special warehouse, where we follow each cask’s maturation regularly. Whiskey needs to mature in cask for a minimum of three years. In small casks this is sufficient, in bigger ones it takes longer. Our master distiller Mikko Mykkänen follows the maturation of every cask and will suggest the optimal time to bottle your whiskey.
