Scottish rum 'on the rise' as distiller launches private cask ownership offer

An award-winning Scottish distillery has announced a private cask ownership programme to the public as market demand soars.

Inspired by the success of Scotch whisky, Matugga Distillery is offering people the chance to be "part of Scotland’s distilling history" with the opportunity to tap into the emerging market of rum cask ownership. Renowned whisky expert Charles MacLean MBE has stated that the announcement will "put Scottish rum on the map".

A limited number of casks will be available for an initial investment of £3,300 each. The result will be approximately 350 bottles of 3-year-old rum per ex-Bourbon cask, produced using a 2,000-litre copper pot still by head distiller and leading craft rum expert, Paul Rutasikwa.
