An excellent whisky and whiskey cask provider
I first invested with Highland Whisky Clan with a single cask purchase to ‘test the waters’, as I tend to do with all my new supplier involvements.
I now hold ownership of six casks through HWC, three Scotch and three Irish (soon to be four).
I am extremely satisfied with the service provided by Highland Whisky Clan, especially with the friendly and knowledgeable contacts with both Mike Ward and Vinny Paul. Both gentlemen have a ‘no flannel’ approach to business and their cask pricing is extremely reasonable and very competitive.
I have recently introduced a member of my family to the cask investment opportunities offered by this company.
I have confidence in recommending Highland Whisky Clan to any prospective investor/purchaser.

Can’t recommend this company enough
Can’t recommend this company enough. Great communication with vinny who is very knowledgeable and gained my total trust in buying online. Vinny took the time to speak to me discussing previous purchases I had had with another whisky companies and was very honest with me…sorted me a good price and made me very comfortable excited and interested in the whole whisky buying experience with “ HIGHLAND WHISKY CLAN” also has kept in touch, unlike other companies.

Hi Mr Bishop hope you’re well. It’s Mike Ward here the founder owner of Highland Whisky Clan limited, I’m somewhat confused as to your review that you wrote about my company. We don’t seem to recall to have any dealings with yourself whatsoever so it’s kind of strange for me to understand how you come up with the idea that we were scammers we operate and run a very small family run team we are not a brokerage nor are we a sales floor we are a Whisky company and we are about to launch our Irish Whisky to the international market in the UK Emirates, India and China if you’d like to come and see myself in person to discuss your concerns I’d be more than happy to meet you at our HQ on the coast at 268 Dovercourt High Street.
All the best

Great deals, family business
I am fairly new at whisky investment. I had the fortune to deal with Vinny. He is very responsive and never had to remind him about questions asked or issues to be addressed. So far it seems to me the deals are amazing, but only time will tell. It is customer focused family run business. So far I purchased 4 casks so I guess I am a return customer 😀.

Trust is my incentive
Although I have only just begun to liase with Vinny, I have very positive feelings that I will be guided gently into this awesome world of whiskey. As I am 76 and blonde (a lethal combination) I am usually very hesitant to take a chance having been scammed sadly few times. I have full faith in Vinny. I trust him implicitly

New to Whisky market
At first I was reluctant to enter the Whisky market due to my phone being bombarded by different companies.
I decided to request information online. Highland Whisky clans approach being a family run business is what swayed me into looking into this market with great depth. These guys are professional and precise.
I am very thankful to the team with the assistance for beginning of my cask collection. They are a polite bunch and I couldn't of wished to pick a better firm to go with.
Thanks guys.
