We're here to help you with any queries you may have about cask ownership. If you can't find the answer you're looking for, please chat to our friendly team.
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.
Whisky bottled at ten years of age will forever remain a ten-year-old Scotch, whereas a cask allows the Whisky to continue to grow in value. Natural evaporation during maturation period means, casks are exempt from capital gains tax, with duty suspended until bottled.
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.
Whisky has proved to be an excellent alternative investment. It’s a tangible asset, and at times has offered more financial security than stocks and shares, with value usually rising with age. We’re not able to give any guarantees about the likely performance of a cask but we can reference past performance.
When it comes to selling your cask, there are multiple exit options that Whisky Partners can assist with.
