Everything You Need to Know About
Whisky Cask Investment

Irish whiskey casks are especially compelling due to:

  • Wasting Asset Tax Treatment: Evaporation qualifies casks as “wasting assets,” exempting UK-based investors from Capital Gains Tax on cask-to-cask sales.
  • Rapid Market Growth: Global Irish whiskey demand is surging, outpacing production capacity, creating scarcity and upward price pressure.
  • Tangible and Portfolio Diversifier: Physical ownership with low correlation to equities and bonds.
  1. Cask Selection: Choose between new-make spirit (entry ~€2,500–€5,000), premium new-make (€10,000+), or aged casks (5+ years, €30,000–€50,000+).
  2. Legal Documentation: Receive a Delivery Order from bonded warehouse plus a bailment contract with unique cask ID and owner details.
  3. Storage & Insurance: Store in an HMRC-approved bonded warehouse under excise suspension; costs range £50–£100/year plus insurance (£50–£200/year).
  4. Maturation: Natural aging enhances flavour while volume reduces via the Angel’s Share: ~4% in year 1, then ~2% annually.
  5. Exit & Monetisation: Options include distillery buy-back, independent bottlers, auction platforms, private collector sales, or personal bottling.

As whiskey matures, a portion evaporates (“Angel’s Share”), concentrating flavours. The first year sees ~4% loss, then ~2% each subsequent year.

Even though storage and insurance may be included initially, understanding additional costs is crucial for accurate ROI modeling.

  • Average Casks: 12–15% p.a.
  • Premium Aged Stock: 20%+ p.a.
  • Rare Casks: Exceptional cases can exceed 30% p.a.

Investors have several options for monetisation, including selling to distillery buy-back programs, independent bottlers, utilising auction platforms, making private collector sales, or choosing personal bottling.

Our Investment Philosophy

“Great whisky, like great investments, requires patience, expertise, and an unwavering commitment to quality. We believe in the intrinsic value of aged spirits – not just as a beverage, but as a tangible asset that appreciates with time.”
