HOW IT WORKS
Through our relationships and ties in the global whisky industry we have access to the best deals. Instead of brokering, we work with each distillery to reserve Whisky casks in bulk in order to secure the best deals at the best prices for our clients.
From newly distilled whisky to well-aged stock, we have casks for all qualified investors. Whether you’re a beginner in whisky, a fan-turned-investor, or a seasoned collector, we have something for you.
Whisky maturation is halted after bottling. Casks, however, continue to mature as time passes. The longer one waits, the older and more valuable the whisky within the cask will become.
Monetization & Exit Strategies
At London Irish Whisky Club, our client relationships extend beyond the purchase. We stay with you every step of the way, throughout the years, right down to the time you wish to monetize your investment. We’ll help you resell, bottle, and distribute your cask portfolio when the whisky has come of age.
Any business, including both old and new distilleries, needs cash to run. Whisky, however, needs to mature for three years before it can even be called whisky. This is law, but several more years are usually necessary for the liquid to reach optimal colour and flavour. During this important time, distilleries choose to sell new make and young casks in order to remain operational. This is where investors comes in. Selling casks keep the lights on for new, exciting distilleries and investors make that a possibility. Join a new distillery and become a part of the exciting journey ahead. Investment and adventure, all in one place.
Independent bottling companies purchase casks from distilleries in bulk, blend the whisky, bottle it, and build new brands. Most bottlers select only the finest casks and have built powerful product ranges centered around strict quality standards. These companies often have ties with distilleries which span back decades, and tend to trade casks as a side business to their own labels. After distilleries, these companies are the one of our main sources of casks.
HOW WE SELECT WHISKY CASKS
We only offer casks from historically top performing distilleries. Performance, branding, marketing, everything comes into play.
Across retailers, social media, coverage, and whisky communities we find which distilleries have historically had the largest and most loyal fan bases. We gauge popularity and seek out expected rising stars to offer our clients casks that we believe have the most potential to grow.
Looking over the past two decades in the whisky industry, current trends, and the global economy, we create growth estimations to help clients understand the profit potential of each cask they buy.
We seek out whisky brands that are rising, yet that we believe have not reached their peak. Looking at core bottle prices, auction results, and secondary trading we examine the market demand for every brand we work with.
Our Commitment:
We strive to provide investors with unparalleled transparency, secure storage and planned monetisation strategies.
Our online platform allows you to easily browse, organize, and examine your cask portfolio, making it easier to make informed decisions.
