Five easy steps
The Buying Process
What to expect when buying a cask:
01. MARKET SUITABILITY
Initial telephone call with a member of the team to establish your needs and objectives for purchasing cask whisky and to qualify whether the market is suitable.
02. RECOMMENDATIONS
Once qualified, we’ll ask you to set a comfortable budget and then we’ll professionally match your requirements/budget to our stocklist and present some options over email for consideration and further discussion.
03. SELECTION
Once you have decided on the cask(s) that suits your needs and budget, you will receive an invoice, including all the cask’s unique data. Once settled and your AML check has been completed/passed, you will receive an ownership pack including all your legal documents.
04. CASK STORAGE
Your cask(s) can be transferred to an existing private account by way of a ‘Delivery Order’ (DO) or held in one of our secure HMRC-approved excise warehouse accounts. All casks will be moved to our state-of-the-art HMRC cask maturation warehouse ‘Campbeltown Bond’ where you will have full access (physical & virtual) and full autonomy over your cask(s).
05. CASK PORTAL / VWC
As a cask owner you will be granted access to the members area of our website where you can access your portfolio through Vintage Acquisition’s bespoke portal, download documents and educate yourself further on the whisky market. When your cask(s) land at Campbeltown Bond, you will have full autonomy over your cask(s) via an independent, cutting-edge, cask maturation software ‘Vapour’. Lastly, you will be automatically enrolled as an exclusive member to our ‘Vintage Whisky Club’ (VWC).
