Our Offerings
At Caskcap, we are great believers in bringing our clients value. This is becoming increasingly more difficult in the Scottish cask market. This is due to how established the industry is, and the structure of Scottish cask brokerages, the price of entry into Scotch for investment grade casks tends to be much higher and the returns far more modest. However, due to the notoriety of the industry and the global reach of the spirit, Scotch casks can be a very stable and desirable asset. So, when working with our clients who desire Scotch casks, our process is far more bespoke, trying to find the right distilleries and cask types to
achieve their ownership goals.
If you have the dream to own your own cask of Scottish whisky, please get in touch and let us find the right cask for you.
