Single Cask Nation Retail line launches in 2017 with four exciting new single casks!
Thanks to the support we’ve received across the Nation, and with our newly increased access to top quality single casks, we’re very excited to announce that we are launching a retail line of Single Cask Nation whiskies that will complement our continued and exclusive online offerings.
Listed just below are the details of our exciting first releases of Retail-Only bottlings which will be available in California, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York. Additional states will be added to our lines of distribution as we release more whisky. These whiskies are expected to hit store shelves in March 2017.
Four single casks are part of our initial releases and they are:
