In order to help investors make sense of the world of whisky cask investment, we have divided all of our whisky investment products into 5 primary categories based on the age of the liquid. While there are a multitude of variables from which a whisky cask derives value, the age of the liquid is the key factor in determining the optimal holding period for the investment. Within each of these primary categories, investors can choose from a variety of casks from leading distilleries across Scotland. Most investors maximize returns by building a well-diversified cask portfolio spanning multiple categories and distilleries. One of the most interesting aspects of whisky investment is that as holdings mature they transition up the hierarchy to become increasingly valuable. The liquid contained in a cask today will be an entirely different spirit with each additional year of aging. This dynamic is one of the most unique and lucrative aspects of whisky as an investment vehicle.
