About this listBrandy cask
A brandy cask release has spent time in an oak cask that once held brandy, most often as a finish after maturing in other casks. For Scotch, the Scotch Whisky Technical File was amended in June 2019 so that the spirit must be matured in new oak casks or in oak casks used only to mature wine, beer or ale, or spirits. The exceptions include spirits produced from or made with stone fruits, and spirits to which fruit, flavouring or sweetening has been added after distillation; the earlier maturation must also be part of the traditional process for that spirit, and the whisky must keep the traditional colour, taste and aroma of Scotch Whisky. Before that change, distillers who wanted casks such as cognac often consulted the Scotch Whisky Association. Barrell Seagrass, which is not Scotch, blends American and Canadian rye whiskeys, each finished separately in Martinique rhum, Madeira and apricot brandy barrels.
