Mason Casks are a way to truly Oak-Barrel-Age and flavour spirits, cocktails and more in a small volume.
They are quarter-sawn Canadan White Oak caps for Mason Jars that have been toasted and charred just like real casks for a result that actually works just like real casks.
We proudly source Seasoned Canadian Oak from the County Cooperage.
Real Whiskey Casks “breathe” in and out as temperature changes throughout the day, cycling the spirit into and out of the wood, extracting flavourants from the oak & filtering out impurities.
To get the same effect that actually works in a small volume requires 3 principles:
1: The spirit needs to interact with the wood and a small amount of air to achieve breathing
2: The amount of wood surface area to volume of spirit needs to be similar to real casks
3: The wood must be toasted and charred Oak as used in full-size casks
Mason Casks have not officially launched yet but we are working hard to release our introductory batch of our updated Mason Casks with an all-new custom seal and featuring fully seasoned Canadian oak. They Will be available…
RIGHT HERE ASAP!
(We’re just taking time to perfect the toast & Char level & testing takes time!)

+ I bought a first generation Mason-Cask, are they coming back?
YES! At the moment I have put this project on hold due to the pandemic and Production issues. I am taking this time to innovate more and re-tool. If you're still interested, contact me and I'll be happy to discuss when and what we can do!
