Maturing a Dream
At Caskcap we put the client at the heart of everything we do. Guided by our experience and insight we want to work with you to build the portfolio that suits your needs.
Our Journey:
Caskcap was started by three financial experts, Scott Flook, James Manto, and Aaron Dolan, each of whom specialised in different forms of investment. Scott had his background in financial banking, James in property, and Aaron in tangible asset investment and auction. The idea from the company came from them doing what they do best, noticing the trends and getting ahead of the curve. So during the covid pandemic, noticing how well whiskey was performing at auctions they decided once again to follow the trend and get ahead of the curve. Caskcap was set up to be a brokerage with a difference, instead of using the same lists and sheets as every other cask company we would use our extensive industry network to go directly to the distilleries that we want to work with and bring the most value to our clients with these exclusive offerings.
Why We Do This
For whiskey enthusiasts like us, there is no greater joy than owning your own cask of maturing whiskey. However, dealing directly with distilleries, bonded warehouses and bottling companies can be difficult, complex and costly. We use our industry connections, relationships and insights to make this process as simple for our clients as possible. And to those who have not yet gained a love of whiskey, cask ownership can be a shrewd way to protect and potentially grow capital.
