As a complete novice to the world of investing, I was initially quite nervous, but I'm very glad to say the process went very smoothly thanks to Aaron Dolan. He patiently talked me through everything relevant to my investment and responded to every question that I had promptly and in depth. I have been very impressed, Aaron made the whole process so easy. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Aaron and I will definitely be investing again in the future.

Michele Illing

We were introduced to whisky investment opportunities by a friend. Thomas White was our main point of contact. Every interaction with Thomas and the team at London Cask was professional, courteous and informative. There were no ‘pushy sales’ tactics and a genuine feeling that they were there to find the most suitable, affordable investment vehicle to suit my budget. All in all, a very pleasurable experience.

The Capital Gains Tax Crunch: Why Whiskey Casks are the Smartest Investment Move Now

The Capital Gains Tax Crunch: Why Whiskey Casks are the Smartest Investment Move Now

In the UK’s most recent budget announcement, the government put a significant spotlight on capital gains tax (CGT). For many, the message was clear: changes to CGT will have major implications for wealth management, particularly for those who have assets in property, stocks, and other investments. Now more than ever, it’s essential to think carefully about how to protect and grow your wealth in a tax-efficient manner.

What Sets Caskcap Apart from Other Whiskey Investment Firms?

If you’re passionate about whiskey investment or just getting started, you’ve probably noticed the growing number of firms in the market offering access to rare casks. With whiskey’s reputation as a solid alternative asset gaining steam, it can be tricky to decide which investment partner to trust. So, what makes Caskcap stand out in this crowded field? Let’s take a closer look at why we’re different—and why investors continue to choose us for their whiskey portfolios.
In Defence of The Blend- An editorial

In Defence of The Blend- An editorial

If you spend any time around whisky drinkers, especially men of a certain age, you will have heard someone decry blends. Something about how you should never drink blends and that all blends are inferior to a single malt. This view clashes with the fact that the most sold British whiskies globally are blends (Jameson, Johnnie Walker, Ballentine’s, Chivas Regal, Grant’s). So, what’s going on? Why the animosity towards blends? And, why do they continue to be successful in the face of adversity?
