Cask88, one of the world’s leading suppliers of bespoke whisky, has unveiled a historic bottling produced exclusively for The Merchistonian Club in Edinburgh.
For over 15 years, the team at Cask88 has been helping world-class companies deliver legendary experiences with one-of-a-kind bottles of the finest whisky. Cask88 empowers brands and organisations to offer unique whisky to further initiatives and increase brand value. The team specialises in all aspects of the perfect bottle including cask procurement, bottling, labels and final distribution.
Three generations of Merchistonians working in the whisky industry have come together for this exclusive alumni release. Charles Maclean (1965-1969), Edward Davidson (1986-1989) and Patrick Costello (2001-2009) carefully selected a 1997 single malt from the widely acclaimed Clynelish distillery. This 19-year-old Highland whisky is from a single cask with only 350 bottles available worldwide, in Charles’ tasting notes he mentions that the whisky is “a splendid expression of Clynelish, embodying the make’s sophistication and elegance.”
This outstanding whisky is complemented by two bottling options, a decanter or bottle. The decanter has been carefully designed by Glencairn Crystal to offer an impeccable presentation piece. Either option includes a red and blue box bearing the old Merchiston logo and selected bottle number (subject to availability). Patrick Costello notes, “this whisky is the perfect wedding, birthday or reunion gift for any Merchistonian. It’s a great collectable that contributes to the fundraising appeal for new sporting facilities.”
Fundraising Initiative
The Merchistonian Club Whisky is being launched as part of The Fundraising Appeal. Merchiston Castle School is embarking on their biggest sporting development in a generation. Facilities are being upgraded in order to expand offerings and allow student athletes to excel to new heights. These facilities will be among the best in Scotland. To date, two-thirds of the target has been raised; enough to allow the initial phase of development to begin.
