They may sell more bottles that way, but the customers aren't even tasting the product.Diving for Pearlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02373371259792882112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-17852196690735780722012-05-08T16:47:35.877-04:002012-05-08T16:47:35.877-04:00Congrats on your cask! 30L means tons and tons of ...Congrats on your cask! 30L means tons and tons of oak contact. Sherry must work well with their spirit.<br /><br />Having chatted with a few folks about buying a cask, our pipedream always ends abruptly when we get to the subject of bringing the whisky back to the states.<br /><br />When you figure it out how to do it, please report back. :)Diving for Pearlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02373371259792882112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-77504286283167508772012-05-08T14:58:36.382-04:002012-05-08T14:58:36.382-04:00It is unlikely that there will ever be an 8-year M...It is unlikely that there will ever be an 8-year Mackmyra. They seem to target younger audiences with a lighter flavor, and they even introduced an even more raw version in Sweden. They promote mixing drinks with it as a base. I'm speechless.<br /><br />Also, for cask owners, they now force new owners to bottle their cask at 5 years. So you won't be able to get a hold of any that way either.<br /><br />Keep in mind that the 30 liter casks does mean that they mature quicker. I've tasted from my own 7-year old cask, and it's very heavy on the sherry flavor from the cask.<br /><br />It's time to bottle it and figure out how to get it to the US. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
