Terms & Conditions

Investing with London Cask Traders

We suggest a 5-8 year old for our clients purchasing casks of whisky. If the client decides to sell through us using one of our exit strategies, a 10% fee on the profits of the sale will occur.

London Cask Traders are not obligated to purchase the casks from the clients on exit but this can be a viable exit strategy.

London Cask Traders will be the custodian of all casks, the proof of ownership, the purchase invoice and a photograph of the cask. This will prove the client’s ownership of the casks.

The value of investments can go down as well as up, and all investments carry a degree of risk. The information displayed in our marketing materials are to educate you on the whisky industry so you can do your own research and make an informed decision on whether a cask investment is suitable for you. Please get in touch with one of our portfolio managers if you are looking for more information.

We are not tax experts and we suggest speaking to a qualified tax advisor if you are looking for more information on the tax benefits and implications of buying cask whisky.

Storage & Insurance

We agree to hold your casks free of charge for 5 years from the date of purchase. Every year after we will charge £60 a year per cask, subject to change.

All casks are fully insured. The insurance policy depends on which bonded warehouse your casks are held with. Please don’t hesitate to contact us for more information on this.

We ensure that all casks are kept safe and secure at all times. For whatever reason there was damage to your casks it will be London Cask Trader’s responsibility to replace them for you with a cask of similar value. Bonded warehouses are known for being hugely secure, where fire, theft and damages are almost unheard of. So rest assured this kind of event would be highly unlikely.

In the event you with to bottle your casks or sample your whisky, VAT will be due before the cask has left the warehouse. The client will be responsible to pay this.
