SUMMARY:Fill Your Own 10L Whisky Cask
DESCRIPTION:As envisioned by the founders\, the special cask maturation in 
 the traditional Faroese “opnahjallur” 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\, “op
 nahjallar” are different too\, their placement and design affecting the 
 flavour of the food. Used mainly for curing fish and lamb\, tasting the fo
 od is commonly followed by the question: “where has it hung?” \n\nWe 
 now give the unique opportunity to get your own small cask filled with our
  lightly peated new make spirit to mature in your own opnahjall. Maturatio
 n in such small casks gives a much quicker maturation\, so a balanced youn
 g malt can be expected after just 2-.3 years. And this way\, you can follo
 w the process and taste your own cask at home whenever you like.\n\nOur gr
 eat partner\, ASC Barrels\, has prepared 20 x 10L barrels especially for t
 his purpose. The barrels are reconstructed from bourbon and sherry barrels
 . The founder and director of ASC Barrels\, Alex Sakon\, give a lecture ab
 out oak wood and how it affects the maturing spirit.\n\nWe invite you to a
  5-hour master class\, where you will learn all the basics of whisky disti
 lling\, including malting\, fermentation\, distillation\, and maturation.\

 on warehouses in Kvívík. Sample tasting\n 	Tour of the distillery\n 	Mas
 terclass in whisky distilling by our Head Distiller\n 	Lecture about oak w
 ood used for maturing whisky\n 	Lecture about how oak wood affects the new

 l chefs\n 	A whisky tasting with selected whiskies that in different ways

 ask”. First come\, first served.*\n\nBy the end of the course\, you can
