The so-called private Bottling formerly used by some distilleries to refinance, the freshly bottled whisky in one or more barrels were sold through the intermediary of a whiskey trader or broker has to his birth and was then allowed to mature in the duty-free warehouse of the distillery. The buyer got the property documents in the acquired and numbered barrels and could be sent to a sample year on request and usually at an additional cost, many distilleries also the visit of acquired barrel was possible and the buyer could decide when and how (if at cask strength or diluted) of whisky is bottled. The import was then carried out by the applicable duties as taxes, duties, transport costs and tariffs normally again about the intermediary whisky traders and the filled bottles were there delivered or forwarded to their owners.
