It was a long time ago, but I think it was about £150 for a 1/16 share, so about £2.5k for the cask. Overall, including duty and bottling it came to about £30 a bottle, excluding any allowance for interest on the original payment. Given that Buichladdich micro-provenance bottles usually go for £80-90+, I reckon that's pretty good. And it is very very good stuff.
The chap who organised it is trying to organise another but apparently it's proving hard. It seems that given the demand for whisky these days the distilleries don't need the forward receipt of funds which selling casks gives them.

Nice. We should do source a cask for this thread.
If you don't mind my asking - was it originally £££? Not sure what they sell casks for these days.
