A purchase of Scotch Whisky is supporting British Industry and business. Scotch production makes up 25% of all British food and drinks exports, and the sector employs around 40,000 people in the UK. Every year approximately 1.2 billion bottles of Scotch whisky is sold, and with demand currently outstripping supply and growth forecast to continue, it presents a robust long-term investment opportunity.
Casks over bottles.
Whisky is unlike many stored goods in that the product develops and increases in value as it ages in casks. Investing in barrels instead of bottles is more of a specialist approach,
but one that is much more profitable in the long term.
Award winning
We source all our whisky from one of our award-winning distillery partners. Flavours from the dry and pungent characters present in the region of Campbeltown to the lightness and gentleness of Lowlands whiskies,

WHY INVEST IN WHISKY CASKS?
1. Cask value increases over time. Whisky matures the longer it’s in a cask. Whisky has tremendous growth potential because the whisky changes and improves each year. When you invest in an asset like gold, market forces are the only factors that control value. Whisky increases in value year-on-year because it matures in the cask.
2. A currency hedge. 93% of Scotch production is exported, so it makes a good currency hedge against the pound.
3. Strong performance. Whisky casks have seen an average return of 7-10% a year, depending on provenance and age. (Source: Scotch Whisky Industry Review). There are a few other tangible alternative investments where you can expect that kind of growth.
4. A clear exit strategy. The whisky market is dynamic. With active investors, buyers, and whisky cask auctions all over the world, investors have many options to realise investment gains.
5. Whisky is a tangible asset. There is limited downside risk to investing in whisky because it’s a financial asset with intrinsic value. Furthermore, insurance protects your asset while it’s in storage. This combination decreases the downside risk.
6. Assured Provenance. A maturing cask must rest in a government bonded warehouse. The government tracks every drop of whisky from the moment it’s distilled until it’s bottled. You can authenticate every bottle of scotch as genuine. Your asset isn’t faked or falsified.
