Braeburn Whisky has pioneered an innovative investment service that allows investors to build and manage whisky cask portfolios with a similar level of simplicity as traditional financial instruments. For the first time, investors are empowered with a fiscally minded approach to whisky cask investment that includes extensive research, powerful reports, transparent oversight and expert support.
As an alcohol product, the warehousing and movement of whisky casks is strictly controlled by HMRC, and all Scotch whisky casks must be kept in a government bonded warehouse in Scotland until the time at which they are bottled. This extensive oversight ensures the provenance of the assets can be verified to uphold the integrity and quality of the entire Scotch whisky industry. In short, this can be very complex to navigate.
However, Braeburn Whisky has simplified the process by which individual investors can purchase whisky casks by pioneering the first portfolio management service which allows investment in whisky casks without the traditional complexity.
In order to help investors make sound financial decisions, Braeburn carefully monitors whisky price data across all available channels to identify forward indicators for future growth. Our team is constantly examining auction results, retail prices, secondary market sales and distillery production figures to give investors detailed reports for each cask investment opportunity.
Every whisky cask portfolio purchased through Braeburn is entirely owned by the investor with full documentation conveying these ownership rights provided upon completion of the sale. The stringent regulations in place by the Scotch whisky industry provide investors with total assurance that each cask is authentic and has been property cared for. While casks remain in a government bonded warehouse as they age, investors have complete control over their investment and can sell cask holdings at any time.
When investors open an account with Braeburn they receive access to an online portal where they can instantly monitor their portfolio of casks at any time, from any internet connected device. This provides full transparency by allowing investors to download ownership certificates, access valuations, view transactions for comparable casks and even list the investment for sale at a specific asking price.
The Braeburn team is committed to delivering financially sound advise on whisky investments and are committed to delivering financially sound advise based on proven methodologies. Investors are assigned a dedicated advisor to help them build a suitable cask portfolio based on their desired holding period, target returns, budget and distillery preferences. Throughout the entire lifecycle of each investment, investors can rest easy knowing their advisor is always looking out for their best interests and just a phone call away when needed.
Among the most amazing features of the Braeburn platform is the powerful sales network that has been years in the making. When it’s time to sell a cask, this extensive international network provides investors with immediate access to thousands of cask buyers including independent bottlers, distilleries, auction houses and other private individuals. Casks can be instantly listed at specific asking price or by auction, with most sales being completed in just 5-7 days.
