I Bought a 200L Barrel of Scotch Whisky | The Borders Distillery 

how much did it cost?

have you made any proffit yet

well thanks for watching!

I hope so!

Haha, go for it.

@@MissBrewbird I must say, This video is doing great Brewbird. How are the watch times?

Watch time is good for this one, 2min 26sec (35%) is the average view duration right now

Thanks for supporting the channel! I got to ask my distilling friends about the different cask options, and try samples from different types of casks as well. Can't really go wrong with a rum or bourbon cask though. A sherry cask will be more expensive. I usually just google questions I have, and sometimes I ask questions on reddit to see what other people think. I'd probably post this question on reddit along with other details and see what kind of answers you get.

It costs 2,000 pounds to buy a private cask here, but I got an employee discount so it was only 1,837 pounds. That includes the physical cask itself and the bottling fees. However, I will also have to pay the duty on it once it gets bottled later on.

Haha, I'll let you know in about ten years.

Thanks. I can already imagine my future self subtly mentioning to people that I own an entire cask of scotch whisky in totally irrelevant conversations. I'm looking forward to it!

Miss Brewbird oh yes, definitely a flex

That's a lot of questions you have there. Some of them are answered in this other video I made about investing in whisky: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pHLKIwusa-Y.html Alcohol does evaporate. Theoretically it will not go bad. The flavour will develop as it ages, but an aging barrel of whisky is like an aging person, some people get better with time while others get worse. Just because a whisky is 40+ years old doesn't automatically mean it will taste better than an 8 year old whisky. When buying the cask you need to consider whether the cost includes storage in the warehouse, whether bottling and duty fees are included, and if you live somewhere else you will need to factor in the shipping cost. Alternatively, you could just buy the cask and try to sell the entire cask off after a few years. My cask costs £1837. Investing in gin and vodka isn't really a thing since they aren't 'aged spirits' usually. No the barrel contents are not stirred.

Glad you enjoyed it!😀

ok

Then go adopt a donkey then 🤡
