Welcome to Brindiamo’s Whiskey Innovators, where we celebrate the visionaries reshaping the whiskey landscape. In each edition, we spotlight the people and companies pushing boundaries, advancing tradition, and introducing fresh perspectives into this centuries-old craft. Today, we’re diving into Crafted Cask, an emerging force in the industry. Let’s explore the passion, creativity, and future they bring to the world of whiskey.
Crafted Cask is revolutionizing corporate gifting by offering a personalized whiskey experience that goes beyond traditional options like chocolates or branded merchandise. With their focus on choice and customization, Crafted Cask creates a unique story in every bottle—providing recipients with a memorable and premium gift that stands apart from anything else they’ve received.
While many distilleries offer private barrel selections, their focus remains on core shelf brands. This creates a gap in the market for fully customized whiskey experiences. Solely focused on private barrel business, Crafted Cask steps in to fill that gap, offering tailored corporate gifting solutions that are unique, thoughtful, and truly memorable.
Crafted Cask’s menu features 10 hand-selected whiskey options from eight different distilleries, combining their proprietary inventory with barrels sourced through Brindiamo. Every selection is five years or older, offering diverse mash bills and profiles, ensuring variety without overwhelming the client.
Crafted Cask simplifies the process of creating a customized gift with these steps:
Crafted Cask’s success is strengthened by their collaboration with Brindiamo, whose extensive network and expertise in whiskey sourcing and barrel management provide access to a diverse range of premium liquids. This partnership allows Crafted Cask to maintain the flexibility and quality necessary to deliver a unique gifting experience.
