OUR COMMITMENT

We bring together the best whiskies in the world. We demonstrate that fine whisky is a good investment, and our marketplace provides the most secure way to store high-end spirits.

PLANNED LIQUIDITY

Casks aren't released until they have reached their ultimate potential. We will be here for you when it comes time to liquidate your portfolio. We have several strategies for that day, and we'd be happy to discuss them with you.

CASH FLOW

A new distillery needs cash to fund its initial operations, but whisky can't be bottled before three years of aging. During that time, the distillery sells its unaged "new make" and young casks to other companies who can use them to produce their products while waiting for their stocks to mature. This process helps keep the lights on at new distilleries to make high-quality whisky for your enjoyment. You can join this exciting journey by investing in a new distillery and becoming a part of the process from beginning to end!

INCREASED DISTRIBUTION

Most bottlers select only the finest casks and have created powerful product ranges centered around strict quality standards. Independent bottlers purchase casks from distilleries in bulk, blend the whisky, bottle it, and build new brands. These companies often have ties with distilleries that span decades and trade casks as a side business to their labels.

BRAND GROWTH

Beyond the monetary benefits, cask sales, auctions, and independent bottling are ways for distilleries to diversify and expand their reach — helping to take their brands to the next level. With these methods comes value, which can increase bottle and cask prices. These rising prices have an impact on our clients' portfolios.
