Whisky casks given to teenagers

A Highland community is giving its young people a cask of whisky for their 18th birthday to help drive the economy and encourage families to remain in the area.

The Ardnamurchan Trust charity will buy a cask of maturing spirit from the Ardnamurchan distillery for every resident aged between ten and 17. On their 18th birthday, they will have the option of selling the cask back to the distillery with the profits being used to finance their tertiary education, future training and careers.
