Earthenware Bottles

Postby RickyRasper » Sat Jan 05, 2013 3:22 pm

I will soon be opening a four year old oak firkin cask of oat whisky 74%abv.To the cask I also added 10,000 year old bog oak chips which should be very interesting. I want something special to bottle this whisky in. Does anyone know of anyone producing earthenware bottle in the UK or Ireland???

Haven't seen anything like that in years but I'll keep an eye out for you and if I find anything I'll PM you.

They are very rare. I've only seen them used by Chivas Regal.
I have a bottle of Royal Salute in an earthenware bottle and a velvet sack with a golden cord. Proper posh it is.
