ABOUT
Chestnut casks are secretly known to be amazing for aging whisky, yet they are forbidden in some places. At Agitator, we prioritize science over tradition, and our passion lies in experimenting with a diverse range of wood types, not just limiting ourselves to oak. Try our chestnut cask-aged whisky and tell us if great whisky shouldn’t come before old-fashioned rules.
