Private Cask Explained
Private Casks are exactly that - 30L matured single malt whisky casks ready to be purchased and enjoyed. Simply choose your cask and design its label.
You get every bottle of the 30L cask, around 48 bottles on average, which is listed on its cask description, along with it's strength, age, recipe and where it matured.
Private Casks are paid in two parts. The first payment to Mackmyra includes the matured whisky, bottling, standard labeling and delivery to address. It does not include the emptied cask.The final payment is only for alcohol Duty and its VAT, invoiced through Mackmyra and paid before delivery. EU customers pay German rates, the UK will pay UK rates.

Why 30 Litre Casks?
There’s a logical explanation as to why Mackmyra’s much loved 30-litre casks are the size they are. During the distillation process we carefully separate the “heart” of the distillate, which is the usable portion. Our first self-produced copper pot-stills could hold 100 litres of weak spirit, which produced a “heart” of pretty much exactly 30 litres following distillation. So as a result of the volume produced during distillation, the first 30-litre cask was created in the year 2000.
Another major benefit associated with the small casks is that the contact area of the oak in relation to volume is larger than is traditionally the case, which allows the whisky to mature more quickly and intensively.
