The current inflationary environment has added a premium to assets that are able to provide security and hedge against inflation. Whisky casks are a robust option for diversifying portfolios towards safer ground.
Scotch whisky gains steady value over time as it matures in the cask. The value of a cask of whisky can grow exponentially, as anyone who buys a bottle of whisky can see when comparing the price of a 10-year-old with a 15-year-old bottle of Scotch.
The Scotch whisky industry is now experiencing unprecedented growth, with distilleries currently unable to keep up with the strong global demand for single malt—this represents a unique opportunity for investors who are able to access this limited stock.
Furthermore, all Scotch whisky casks must be kept in a government bonded warehouse until the time comes to bottle the whisky. This ensures traceability and avoids the counterfeiting risks associated with other similar assets.
Once you have purchased a cask from Braeburn Whisky, that cask will be held in your name. With the expert advice of your portfolio manager, you can decide the best time to sell, change to another type of cask for finishing, or even to bottle it yourself.
I am very much looking forward to introducing you personally to the opportunities provided by Whisky cask investment.
