*The Cask of Distinction is Diageo's private sale program whereby individual casks (generally quite rare & special) from Diageo’s extensive stocks in Scotland are sold to private individuals. Usually selected by a team of whisky experts under guidance from Master Blender Dr. Craig Wilson, these casks tend to be very unique and incredibly rare.
