ABV evaporation rate is 0.75 of full evaporation rate.
The cost of bottling is set at £2.50 per bottle.

This calculator is meant only as a guide for those purchasing a cask of single malt whisky to mature and bottle themselves.
Outside factors such as humidity and temperature can not be taken into account and can only be suggested in the average annual evaporation figure.
1 The average is usually between 1% and 3%. 2% would be a good, general figure to try.
