Often the bottles from a single cask are numbered consecutively and provided with information on the cask number, type, distillation and bottling date and are available only in an order determined by the barrel size and mostly limited amount. What is true for the year whisky, is more pronounced in single cask bottlings and the quality may be different for each different filling and the barrel used.
