We are here to help you with any queries you may have about Whisky cask ownership. If you can’t find the answer you’re looking for, please contact a member of our team.
What is included in a cask purchase?
Why is whisky investment so popular?
Do I take delivery of my cask?
Our cask sales are tailored to you, so we offer both aged and new make casks. Storage and insurance is included on most purchases; however, this does depend on which you choose so please make sure you read the item’s description thoroughly.
When you purchase a cask from us, it’s yours and you take ownership of it. However, we strongly suggest any whisky that is purchased as an investment should be looked at as a minimum hold time of five years.
Purchasing a cask doesn’t mean that you need to find a way to store your cask – casks must legally be stored in duty-suspended bonded warehouses in Scotland as they mature. You won’t need to pay the excise and duty if you don’t bottle your whisky and most cask investors sell them on for a profit.
Is there a minimum holding period?
What are the exit strategies?
