The Single Cask

Celebrating Individuality Through Single Cask Whisky

The Single Cask is an independent bottler dedicated entirely to the art of single cask whisky. Each bottling captures the individuality of a single barrel – a one-of-a-kind expression that cannot be replicated. Through meticulous cask selection and an unwavering focus on quality, the company has earned a reputation for releasing whiskies that reveal character, depth, and distinct personality. Every whisky is bottled at cask strength, always natural in colour and free from chill filtration – great whisky meant to be opened, shared, and enjoyed.

Origins and Philosophy

Founded in 2010 by Ben Curtis, The Single Cask was born from a love affair with the exceptional character of whisky drawn straight from the cask. Curtis’s fascination with the unique nature of single cask whiskies soon led to the creation of The Single Cask and the opening of the brand’s first whisky bar in Singapore.

From the outset, the company’s philosophy has been to celebrate individuality and authenticity. Each bottling represents whisky in its purest form – unblended, unadulterated, and brimming with natural character. This approach reflects a belief that whisky should be both thrilling and deeply personal, capable of sparking curiosity and emotional connection.

The Selection Process

Cask selection lies at the heart of The Single Cask’s craft. The company’s panel of Taste Masters – seasoned whisky experts – hand-select each cask for its exceptional quality and distinctive character. Every whisky must earn its place through a tasting process that seeks individuality, depth, and balance.

Once a cask is emptied, its whisky can never be recreated. This natural rarity means every bottling represents a fleeting moment in time - a liquid snapshot of the distillery’s spirit and the cask’s influence. Each release is profiled by one of five moods, inviting drinkers to explore the whiskies through different moments and emotions.

Distinctive Character and Style

Every bottling from The Single Cask tells its own story. Some are vibrant and youthful, others rich and mature, but all share a signature honesty – whisky as it truly is, shaped only by wood, time, and environment. Each release is accompanied by descriptive tasting notes and a name that reflects its personality, allowing drinkers to engage with its character on a deeper, more sensory level.

This individuality is what sets The Single Cask apart. It celebrates the unexpected and the extraordinary, inviting whisky lovers to experience the full diversity of flavour that single cask bottlings can offer.

A Reputation Built on Quality

Over the years, The Single Cask has built a reputation for integrity, transparency, and craftsmanship. Every bottle carries full cask details, allowing drinkers to trace the whisky’s journey from warehouse to glass. Its commitment to bottling only the most distinctive and outstanding casks has made it a respected name among both newcomers and connoisseurs seeking authenticity and adventure in their whisky.

Conclusion

The Single Cask stands as a celebration of individuality in whisky – a company devoted to capturing the unrepeatable character of each barrel. Through its passion for discovery and its respect for authenticity, it offers drinkers the chance to explore whisky in its most vivid and personal form.
