01
01 · Certificate first
Your first ownership record
After you buy an identified cask, WCC first issues a Certificate of Entitlement with the available cask details.
- Client and cask details recorded
- Purchase and entitlement linked
- Sensitive fields kept private
- Later warehouse evidence may still need to follow
02
02 · Warehouse process
Custody evidence follows where applicable
The cask remains in bonded storage. Warehouse-account evidence can show an operational storage relationship and access to inventory records, but it does not by itself prove that a specific client owns a specific cask.
- Warehouse name and location
- Inventory and notification access
- Storage and insurance position
- What the document establishes
03
03 · Transfer evidence
A Delivery Order may come later
A cask may need to move before the bonded warehouse can issue or acknowledge a Delivery Order. Timing and document sequence therefore depend on the specific warehouse route.
- Transfer instruction
- Warehouse acknowledgement where available
- Movement status recorded
- Warehouse issuance timing varies
04
04 · Living record
Keep your cask record up to date
Keep dated records of storage, insurance, correspondence, samples, regauges and any transfer or bottling decisions.
- Custody and cost record
- Condition checks when justified
- Decisions and instructions logged
- Observed fact separated from opinion
Real process documents
Real examples. Private details protected.
See the certificate, warehouse-account and transfer documents, with their purpose and limits explained.
Warehouse process
Castlelaw account-opening evidence
This shows an operational warehouse and account relationship. It does not identify a buyer or establish ownership of a particular cask.
Transfer process
Redacted Delivery Order
This WCC-issued instruction shows the transfer-document format. It is not presented as Castlelaw acknowledgement of transfer, and all identifying and commercial fields are withheld.
These examples were checked and redacted to protect client identities, cask numbers, commercial terms and signatures.

Casks are illiquid, values can fall and a sale is not assured. Plan for a holding period suited to your circumstances; a sale may take time. Understand the evidence and costs before committing. Meet the Singapore-based team →
