Cask Ownership

AHASCRAGH DISTILLERY CASK OWNERSHIP PROGRAMME

Whether you’re an individual, a family, a group of friends, an organisation, club or corporate entity, you now have the opportunity to buy a whiskey cask through the Ahascragh Distillery Cask Ownership Programme.


We're Ireland’s first zero energy emissions distillery. As such, we invite you to not only have a stake in the growing global demand for Irish whiskey, but to own a bespoke spirit that embodies exceptional Irish craftsmanship, quality, heritage and sustainability.

 

As a cask owner, you can customise your spirit and cask to make it uniquely yours. You can even have your name displayed on the cask head, and your cask will be securely stored and insured free of charge for 3 years.

 

Being part of the Ahascragh Distillery Cask Ownership Programme offers you a rare and meaningful connection to a new future of sustainable Irish whiskey-making.
