CASK AGED RUMS

We cask age our rums fully on site here at Ninefold Distillery, in Annandale, Scotland. Our cask ageing programme is still small and young: our oldest casks in bond were filled in September 2019, although we are trying to accelerate how much we lay down.

Information on our cask releases can be found below, and will be updated regularly. We believe in being transparent and open about what we do here, so hopefully you’ll find the cask information useful!
