Whisky casks & the Knight Frank Index

In a lot of other investment guides you will often see the Knight Frank Index referenced with reference to the growth of the value of whisky.

We found this information was being manipulated and there is almost no connection between casks of whisky and bottles of whisky.

Why you really should not rely on bottle counts

A lot of casks are advertised for sale online with a reference to the number of bottles they hold, i.e. 350 bottles.  This is rather than stating the bulk litres, i.e. 245 bulk litres.  

We believe this is very misleading and you should deffinately NOT rely on them as a guide.

A regauge is one of the most important services carried out on your cask by the warehouse owner.

The 8 things you MUST know before you buy a cask

Advice You Can Trust

Since 2016 our aim has been simple – to provide a trustworthy source of information to help people make sound decisions when they are selling their whisky. To date we have sold millions of pounds worth of antiques and whisky (both casks and bottles) for our clients. 

We’re now applying this same logic to help people invest in casks of whisky.  Rather than providing sales pitches disguised as educational material, it’s our mission to become the ultimate source of open and honest cask investment guidance.

The information you will find in OUR GUIDE, CASK VIDEOS, BLOG and CALCULATOR is all designed to help you make a balanced decision.  We would rather you knew all the facts and didn’t buy a cask than buy one based on ‘fake news’.
