Buy and Sell Whisky Casks
Looking to invest or buy a cask of whisky to mature and bottle? We can help.
Buying a cask of whisky for investment or simply to have your own private bottling is becoming more and more widespread. Many distilleries offer packages that include a cask of new-make whisky along with free storage for a number of years and bottling options when the spirits matures. Alongside newly distilled spirits, there is a vibrant market for the buying and selling of mature whisky still in cask - either to hold for re-sale at a later date or for bottling.
If you're new to the world of cask whisky, we recommend you read our 'Guide to Buying Whisky Casks'. It has details on all aspects of acquiring, storing and re-selling a cask of whisky. We've also got guides explaining key concepts like 'The Angels Share' and how different types of oak cask affect whisky as it matures.

Why buy a cask of whisky?
Investing in whisky casks isn't just a financial decision; it's a commitment to preserving heritage and tradition. Here's a few reasons why purchasing a cask of whisky might be right for you...
Tangible Asset • Whisky casks are a tangible asset that can provide a unique investment opportunity.
Free from Capital Gains Tax • HMRC categorise whisky casks as a "wasting asset", meaning capital gains tax does not apply to revenue from sales of casks.
Diversification • Whisky casks offer diversification from traditional investment portfolios, potentially reducing overall risk.
Long-Term Value • As they age, whisky casks may increase in value, making them a potentially profitable long-term investment.
Heritage and Tradition • By investing in casks, you play a part in continuing the legacy of whisky craftsmanship for generations to come.
As with all investments, it's important to remember that the value can go up as well as down.
