Ardgowan Infinity Cask

The second significant benefit is that you will own an Ardgowan Infinity Cask. The Ardgowan Infinity Cask is specially designed by Ardgowan to allow the whisky to mature for the longest possible time. The Infinity Cask is of the largest size allowed for maturation under the Scotch Whisky Regulations and has a size, toasting and sherry seasoning that is proprietary to Ardgowan Distillery. The Infinity Cask is seasoned with certified Oloroso sherry for 36 months. Only Chieftains of Clan Ardgowan are allowed to own an Ardgowan Infinity Cask and so only 100 of the Ardgowan Infinity Casks will be owned by individuals anywhere in the world.
