Exit Strategies
It's the journey, not the destination that matters. But, cask whiskey is not a dividend paying investment, so the destination is where the money is. The following are ways to fruitfully end your cask ownership journey.
Option 1: Peer to Peer Sales
Casks of whiskey can take many years before they reach their full potential, if you can't wait the full period, there is someone who can. We facilitate these peer to peer sales with rates that make both parties happy.
Option 2: Sale to the
industry or syndicates.
Once the whiskey is ready to be bottled, if the owner does not wish to incur the expense themselves, we find the right people to bottle it. These may be independent bottling companies, or clubs who want to split the cost of bottling between all their members.
Option 3: Auctions and Private Sales
When it comes to sale of your cask, auctions and private sales can be viable options. If you wish to utilise your own network to sell your cask that is perfectly ok, or we can find the right auction house for you.

Find answers to frequently asked questions about exit strategies for investors.
An exit strategy is a plan that outlines how an investor intends to liquidate their investment and make a profit. It is important to have an exit strategy in place to minimize risks and ensure a successful investment outcome.
Exit strategies are important because they provide investors with a clear plan for exiting an investment. They help investors manage risks, maximize returns, and ensure they achieve their investment goals.
Choosing an exit strategy requires careful consideration of factors such as the investor's goals, risk tolerance, market conditions, and the nature of the investment. It is advisable to consult with financial advisors or experts to make an informed decision.
