SUMMARY:Fill Your Own 10L Whisky Cask
DESCRIPTION:\nAs envisioned by the founders\, the special cask maturation i
 n the traditional Faroese “rimahjallur” has proven to be one of the ma
 in characteristics of Faer Isles Distillery.\nIn 2024\, we took this conce
 pt one step further. Because just as casks are highly individual\, rimahja
 llar are different too\, their placement and design affecting the flavour 
 of the food. Used mainly for curing fish and lamb\, tasting the food is co
 mmonly followed by the question: “where has it hung?”&nbsp\;\nWe now g
 ive the unique opportunity to get your own small cask filled with our ligh
 tly peated new make spirit to mature in your own rimahjall. Maturation in 
 such small casks gives a much quicker maturation\, so a balanced young mal
 t can be expected after just 2-.3 years. And this way\, you can follow the
  process and taste your own cask at home whenever you like.\nOur great par
 tner\, ASC Barrels\, has prepared some 10L barrels especially for this pur
 pose. The barrels are reconstructed from bourbon and sherry barrels. At th
 e event\, the founder and director of ASC Barrels\, Alex Sakon\, gives a l
 ecture about oak wood and how it affects the maturing spirit.\nWe invite y
 ou to a 5-hour master class\, where you will learn all the basics of whisk
 y distilling\, including malting\, fermentation\, distillation\, and matur
 ation.\nThe course includes:\n\nVisit to our “opnhjallur” whisky matur
 ation warehouses in Kvívík. Sample tasting\nTour of the distillery\nMast
 erclass in whisky distilling by our Head Distiller\nLecture about oak wood
  used for maturing whisky\nLecture about how oak wood affects the new make
