Frequently asked questions about Thy Whisky Shared Cask No 86

What is a Shared Cask?

A Shared Cask is an arrangement where a group of whisky enthusiasts jointly purchase a single cask. The cask matures at the distillery, and when it is ready for bottling, the owners receive their share of the bottles. It is an exclusive and very direct way to acquire single cask whisky.

Is Thy Whisky Shared Cask No 86 a good investment?

Shared Cask expressions are the most limited bottles from Thy Whisky. Cask No. 86 is a single cask, and the number of bottles produced is minimal. The distillery's growing international recognition makes these expressions collector's items.

Is Shared Cask No 86 chill filtered?

No. Bottled at cask strength 61.1% without chill filtration and with natural colour. This preserves all natural oils and the full intensity from the cask.

Can I add water to Shared Cask No 86?

Yes, and it is recommended. 61.1% is a high strength. Start with a few drops of water and observe how new aromas open up. It is not a sign of weakness – it is tasting the whisky on its own terms.

Is Shared Cask No 86 limited?

Absolutely. A cask produces a fixed number of bottles. Shared Cask No 86 is permanently discontinued when the stock is exhausted – it is not possible to replenish a cask that has already been bottled.

What is the difference between Shared Cask and Distillery Edition?

Distillery Edition is Thy Whisky's own selection of chosen single casks for resale. Shared Cask casks are sold directly to a group of private owners and bottled specifically for them. Both are single cask – but Shared Cask is even more exclusive.
