Cask Share #XXX - Quarter Bourbon Cask from Heaven Hill

No later than week 45 of 2022, we will fill a new batch of Bourbon Quarters from Heaven Hill in Kentucky. The casks have been rebuilt from 200 liter to 125 liter casks and are known among other things. from the Laphroaig and Arran distilleries. The smaller casks provide a more intense maturation of the spirit, which matches our very fruity and characterful raw spirit very well.

Bourbon casks give the distillate a very recognizable palette of vanilla, caramel and mocha notes. At the same time, you benefit from the extra sweetness, which is also part of Bourbon whiskey's taste universe. When the cask is full, it is expected to take 5-6 years before the whiskey is ready for bottling.

When you buy a cask share at Thornæs, you are automatically invited to Fadenes dag here at the distillery. Fadenes Dag is a special day when we celebrate all the good whisky maturing in our cask warehouse. On the day there will be tastings and lots of extra info about the casks that are on the way and the whisky that is ready to be enjoyed together.

The date of the next Fadenes day will be announced on the website and in our newsletter.
