Gold bars to be exempt from tariffs, White House clarifies
LONDON - The Artisanal Spirits Company plc (AIM:ART) announced Monday the launch of Artisan Casks, a new luxury private cask programme offering individuals the opportunity to purchase individual whisky casks aged at least 20 years.
The programme will release only "a handful" of casks annually, according to the company’s statement. Each cask will be available for immediate bottling or can undergo additional maturation under the guidance of the company’s whisky-makers.
James Mackay, who previously served as Global Private Client Director and Head of Rare & Exceptional Spirits for Diageo (LON:DGE) plc, will lead the initiative as Private Client Director for the Artisanal Spirits Company.
"The Artisan Casks programme brings together everything that makes single malt Scotch whisky so special to me: the most authentic, time-honoured application of craft, with each cask the focus of years of technical artistry, patience and uncompromising attention to detail," Mackay said in the press release.
Participants in the programme will gain access to a network that includes visits to Scottish distilleries, exclusive bottlings, and invitations to private events, according to the company.
The Artisanal Spirits Company is the owner of The Scotch Malt Whisky Society, Single Cask Nation, and J.G. Thomson brands.
