Private Casks at 8 Doors Distillery
-
Your Whisky. Your Legacy. Crafted at The Edge.
Owning a private cask from 8 Doors Distillery is a rare opportunity to create something truly personal. A whisky shaped by time, by the elements, and by our award-winning new make spirit.
Nestled at the very edge of the Scottish mainland, our coastal warehouse provides a unique maturation environment where sea air, temperature shifts and northern climate all play their part. Every cask laid down here tells its own story. We’d love to help you start yours.

We’ll talk you through all the possibilities, explain the impact of each choice, and help shape a cask investment or personal whisky project with confidence.
