The start of the journey for Cask 88 began in 2008 when they visited the most iconic distilleries in Scotland, the trip was so inspiring that they found themselves having the dream to have their own casks. As they started to share their dream with others, they realised that they too were not alone in fulfilling this dream and after months of travelling and gaining more knowledge about casks they realised that they could not buy just one cask.
They have never looked back, they are now among the world’s foremost experts in rare whisky and have six international locations in Scotland, Singapore, Japan, China, Macau and the Philippines.
Sir Walter Scott 250th Anniversary Cask 88 Set
Situated at the base of, and named after Britain’s tallest mountain, Ben Nevis was founded by ‘Long’ John McDonald and stayed in the McDonald family until the 1940s. It was then that Joseph Hobbs took over the distillery and revamped production by installing a Coffey still allowing them to experiment in both grain and malt whiskies. The distillery was bought by Nikka in 1989 and about three-quarters of the new make is shipped directly to Japan for use predominantly in Nikka Black.
