No Financial or Tax Advice

Investment Risks

  1. Price Fluctuation: The value of cask whiskey can rise or fall. Market performance is not guaranteed, and investors should be aware of the speculative nature of this asset class.
  2. Past Performance: Past performance is not an indicator of future results. Any projections or estimates provided are illustrative only and may not be achieved.
  3. Evaporation ("Angel’s Share"): Whiskey stored in casks naturally evaporates over time. An average annual loss of 2% in volume and alcoholic strength is expected under normal warehouse conditions.
  4. Costs & Fees: Additional costs may apply, including but not limited to warehouse storage, insurance, regauging, sampling, and bottling fees. Please speak to us for further details.
  5. Tax Considerations: If you choose to bottle your whiskey, duty and VAT will be payable before the whiskey is removed from an HMRC-licensed warehouse. It is the cask owner's responsibility to ensure compliance with tax obligations.

Cask Management

  • Regular cask health checks are recommended every three years to monitor liquid levels and condition. Services such as regauging, sampling, and photography are available at an additional cost.
