TOP PERFORMING ASSET
Scotch Whisky is exported to 180 markets worldwide, and 42 bottles are shipped every second. UK whisky sales are set to see a 6% increase to £2.44 billion by 2022. Export value of Scotch Whisky in 2019 was £4.91bn, +£208m compared with 2018. Some countries have increased their import of scotch whisky by 150% over 18 months. Scotch whisky is truly a global phenomenon. (source TSWIR).
There are currently 20 million casks of whisky maturing in Scottish bonded warehouses, with Scotch accounting for 21% of the United Kingdom’s entire food and drinks exports. Within three years, over 30 new distilleries have been founded and several legendary closed distilleries restored to full working condition.
Recently these distilleries have seen cask sales as a source of early revenue. Un-aged casks of new-make spirit can cost in excess of £6,000. Our starting price for casks is £1,500 for three-year-old whisky from well-established distilleries.
SECURITY & PROTECTION
Casks of Scotch are by law stored in HMRC approved warehouses in Scotland, commonly at the distillery they were distilled. Records of every cask must be kept and movement from the warehouse is licensed. As part of this process, each cask has a unique paper trail known as a delivery order.
A NOTE ON FRACTIONAL OWNERSHIP
At Cask Trade we only sell entire casks. We strongly believe purchasing a portion heightens the risk. Should you wish to purchase a cask as a group we will require one main holder.
REASONS TO BUY A CASK
Excellent Returns
A variety of options to suit all budgets and profit goals.
Unique and Limited
Each cask is unique, and it's definitely not something you could by online! No two casks will ever be the same.
Maturating in Value
Time is on your side. Whisky only matures in the cask. The older and more mature a whisky, the greater the value.
Safe and Secure
Casks can only be held in government bonded warehouses and cannot be faked or fabricated.
Delicious Asset
Whisky casks are a physical, tangible asset that you own. You can sample them, trade them or even bottle them!
Profit Realisation
Our 5 in-house exit strategies and global client base ensure a hassle-free exit when the time comes to sell your cask.
