What's a Ardbeg cask worth?
Rough value ranges for a typical Ardbeg cask by age (Islay). Updated October 2026.
| Age | Bourbon cask | Sherry cask |
|---|---|---|
| 5 years (filled 2021) | £10,000 to £29,000 | £13,000 to £37,000 |
| 10 years (filled 2016) | £16,000 to £50,000 | £21,000 to £64,000 |

| 25 years (filled 2001) | £42,000 to £180,000 | £54,000 to £230,000 |
Each range is for a generic cask: a full 250-litre hogshead filled at 63.5%, in good condition, with the usual losses for its age. The low end is what to look to pay, the middle a fair estimate, and the high end expensive for a typical cask. Your cask's condition, paperwork, history and how full it is all change what it's worth.
