About this listRum cask
A rum cask is an oak cask that previously held rum, used either for a whisky's whole maturation or for a shorter finish after ageing in other casks. Under the Scotch Whisky Regulations 2009, Scotch Whisky must be matured only in Scotland, only in oak casks of no more than 700 litres, and for at least three years. A June 2019 change to the Scotch Whisky Technical File allows maturation in oak casks that previously held spirits, except spirits to which fruit, flavouring or sweetening was added after distillation, and only where that earlier use was part of the traditional process for the spirit. Whatever cask is used, the finished whisky must keep the traditional colour, taste and aroma of Scotch Whisky. The Lagavulin Offerman Edition 11 Year Old was finished for a little over eight months in casks that previously held Caribbean rum. Springbank 21 Year Old changes its cask mix from release to release, and the 2026 release includes 6% rum casks alongside Port, bourbon and sherry casks.
