SUMMARY:Fill Your Own 10L Whisky Cask
DESCRIPTION:As envisioned by the founders\, the special cask maturation in 
 the traditional Faroese “rimahjallur” has proven to be one of the main
  characteristics of Faer Isles Distillery.\n\nWe now want to take this con
 cept one step further. Because just as casks are highly individual\, rimah
 jallar are different too\, their placement and design affecting the flavou
 r of the food. Used mainly for curing fish and lamb\, tasting the food is 
 commonly followed by the question: “where has it hung?” \n\nWe now gi
 ve the unique opportunity to get your own small cask filled with our light
 ly peated new make spirit to mature in your own rimahjall. Maturation in s
 uch small casks gives a much quicker maturation\, so a balanced young malt
  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.\n\nOur great pa
 rtner\, ASC Barrels\, has prepared 20 x 10L barrels especially for this pu
 rpose. The barrels are reconstructed from bourbon and sherry barrels. The 
 founder and director of ASC Barrels\, Alex Sakon\, give a lecture about oa
 k wood and how it affects the maturing spirit.\n\nWe invite you to a 5-hou
 r master class\, where you will learn all the basics of whisky distilling\
 , including malting\, fermentation\, distillation\, and maturation.\n\nThe

 ehouses in Kvívík. Sample tasting\n 	Tour of the distillery\n 	Mastercla
 ss in whisky distilling by our Head Distiller\n 	Lecture about oak wood us
