Spirits Network, the digital streaming platform where spirits enthusiasts can learn directly from industry experts and buy premium products, announced their exclusive offering of 1,000 private Scotch Whisky casks in partnership with The Borders Distillery of Scotland.

The ownership of each cask includes a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) that will feature an image of The Borders Distillery or the surrounding area of the Scottish Borders. This NFT also entitles cask owners to a bottle from the first ever bottling of Borders Distillery Single Malt Scotch Whisky, the first from the region since 1837. Once ready for release, American Cask customers will have their Borders Distillery spirit bottled and shipped to their homes.

“We are delighted to partner with Spirits Network for this one-of-a-kind offer,’ John Fordyce, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Borders Distillery, said in a news release. “There is great interest in owning your own cask to celebrate anniversaries, graduations, engagements, and special moments. Spirits Network is bringing the Borders Distillery to America, a first.”
