Pistonheads whisky cask
Discussion
I would like to see PPX1 bottled as that's ready, and I'm inpatient.
A tasting would be fantastic but for those of us at the other end of the country difficult.
That said if it were happening I would try to be there.
I'm happy to go with the majority and see what we get.
No harm in Lefty getting a quote (if that's ok Lefty?, give us an idea of cost/timescales etc ?
Any thoughts on bottles and labels ?
I'd love this bottle for our octaves but am guessing its expensive.

Pleasant catch-up with crmcatee today, looks like you had a great experience with whiskybroker.
Craig tells me that they will happily divide any leftover whisky into smaller bottles so that each cask owners gets an equal share. Most excellent. Basic labels are free, 50cl bruichladdich-style bottles work out to around £2 each.

They gave me the bottles, I did the dividing myself. Sheesh, this thread winds me up, so jealous...
These guys are now doing octaves, I vaguely remember reading about them:

Seems to be £2k, as an 'investor pack' they're crowd funded. No idea if they just sell them. Or what happens if they go bust!

Missing from the table above is something I've been looking for for a while - a peated Port.
Any interest out there?
One of my favourite drams is Edradour's Port Cask - not Port finished but exclusively Port cask matured, for 9 years. It's lovely
Do any of the big Islay distilleries do private casks?

I'm sure they do but you will be looking at a lot of money to get one. Laphroaig did a peated port bottling a couple of years ago for the Islay Festival.Do any of the big Islay distilleries do private casks?

Spot on. Craig tells me that they will happily divide any leftover whisky into smaller bottles so that each cask owners gets an equal share. Most excellent. Basic labels are free, 50cl bruichladdich-style bottles work out to around £2 each.
Basic bottles fine by me. It's about the whisky and we're not David Beckham.
Right, for once, I might actually be able to come up and visit, so I need to start making formulative plans! Assuming the dates as offered, what would the proposed timescales for visiting the distillery/storage be please? Assuming I'm able to come and visit, I need to know which days for travel and which nights for staying over. Any accommodation nearby or what would the best/nearest village/town be and would we be planning an evening meal anywhere? If there will be tasting (which I damn well hope so!) I need to factor in my wife driving the Tuscan (which she is insured for but has NEVER ever driven in the over 10 years I've owned it!). She is 'scared' of it and has no desire (or indeed wish) to drive it, hence my issue.
Clearly lots of questions being asked and if I can help in the (group) arrangements in any way, please let me know as I know organising something like this takes a lot of effort across lots of different aspects.
Oh, and I don't mind basic labels and assuming the 50cl bottles are as previously proposed, I'm all for those.
I'm looking forward to this!
