Cask Description
A February 2019 first-fill bourbon barrel containing Kirkcowan single malt. Now at a well-developed early-mature stage, this cask shows clear bourbon influence, with integrated oak, vanilla and early fruit complexity. At 6 years old, the spirit sits in a desirable age range for private buyers and bottlers, with the option for continued maturation or bottling within the next few years.

• Vanilla, honey and light coconut.
• Soft oak influence with gentle sweetness.
• Orchard fruits (pear, apple).
• Clean malt and cereal character.
• Subtle citrus brightness.
• Smooth, well-rounded finish.

First-fill bourbon barrels from Kirkcowan are more desirable than refill stock due to their stronger maturation profile. A 2019 fill sits in the 5–7 year “sweet spot” where buyers can see early maturity while still having long-term ageing potential. This cask is suitable for both continued development and bottling projects.

“Kirkcowan” refers to the private-cask spirit produced at Bladnoch Distillery in the Lowlands of Scotland. Known for its clean, unpeated style, the spirit responds particularly well to American oak maturation. First-fill bourbon barrels offer greater wood activity than refill barrels, providing sweetness, vanilla notes and bright fruit character while preserving the distillery’s light Lowland profile.

• Private whisky buyers.
• Independent bottles.
• Collectors wanting mid-age Lowland casks.
• Buyers seeking first-fill bourbon maturation with strong development potential.

• Price excludes duty, VAT and bottling costs.
• Cask stored under bond in Scotland.
• Full ownership transferred to the buyer.
• No licence required to own a cask in the UK.
• Full documentation (including OLA/ABV available on request).
