Jake – Orkney Barrel Whisky Cask – 2017
Owning your own cask of scotch whisky can be a dream come true but it can cost a lot for just one person. That’s why we are plotting a new course in getting your hands on your own casks without blowing the budget… Cask Shares!! We are excited to present the following off the grid malt to you.
A very rare opportunity for any Orkney malt lovers… please read on below.
£97.00 – £179.00
This is your opportunity to buy a share in an amazing cask distilled on Orkney in 2017.
Jake here is one of a pair of brother casks released to us in the Summer of 2020. Check out the other brother, (maturing in fresh Oloroso Sherry Barrel) – ELWOOD – here.
This youthful barrel bites at its weighty cask filling strength of 63.5%. The years have begun to mellow the spirit which harks from the rugged and salty shores of the Orkney Isles but they still have a few years to go to complete the ensemble. This youthful whisky still shows fresh and vibrant maltiness with green apple, soft stone fruit and a hint of vanilla emerging when the dram is mellowed with a dash of water. The gentle heathery peat is mild and inviting on on the nose and smooth on the palette. This dram from a multi-award winning distillery is already good and the next five years before its bottling promise great great things.

FAQ's
Cask shares split single cask whisky into smaller and more affordable chunks. Rather than having to shell out thousands for a full cask, cask shares allow multiple people to buy part shares in the same cask reducing the cost while giving you access to all the benefits of cask ownership. We call this a “Syndicate” bottling.
Every cask of whisky is unique and as such, yields a different number of bottles. These are divided into shares which are for sale through our website. When you purchase your whisky cask share we issue you with a certificate of ownership of your share for the cask purchased.
The Uncharted Whisky Co. then takes care of everything for you from the storage to the bottling once the cask is of age and the tax payments. We also provide you with yearly updates on your cask’s maturation progress, tasting notes, strength and colouring. Once per year, you can order a sample of the cask to do your own tasting.

All Scotch Whisky must be stored and bottled in Scotland in an approved warehouse. Each cask has a planned bottling date. You can see this before you buy shares in your chosen cask and on your Certificate of Ownership. Once bottled, it will then take a few weeks for us to deliver to you.
