Our clients typically purchase a ‘young’ cask sourced from a renouned distillery, then simply wait for the cask to age and mature gracefully. The longer the wait the greater the increase in quality and desirability of the cask.

First class service

The quality of the service is excellent, from initial contact, support through the acquisition process, and to the issue of certificates and access to the portal. I am looking forward to a quality long term relationship with Robert and all the team.

The whisky boys…

Been with the "whisky boys" for 3 years now and am very impressed with the service I get. Matthew has looked after me well and is always after my best interests. Owner Sam always finds the time to chat when I visit their offices as well. The advise is good, the drams are excellent and my first lots of casks have gone up 27%. Happy days.

I have built a varied portfolio of whiskies with vintage acquisitions. Ryan keeps me informed as to the whisky market and if I decide to buy it is a simple procedure. Altogether a good experience.

Great scotch knowledge and enthusiasm

I was recommended Vintage Acquisitions by a friend and I've already had to buy him a few drinks of thanks!

Had a really useful initial conversation with Robert over the phone initially and was then sent a few investment options, with supporting information. He'd definitely understood what I was looking to do both financially and recreationally. Following a more detailed Zoom call I'd heard all I needed to and was ready to invest.

Obviously no investment is without risk but for someone like myself (very much a scotch enthusiast) it very much seems like a win/win.

Can't wait to visit my barrel for the first time and look around the new facilities.

I had dealings with Sam who was conscientious to my investment needs.
Purchased whisky cask September 2021. Reluctantly had to sell recently. All went well from purchase through to the sale and pleased to say a 17% profit in 2.5 years.
Keep doing what your doing.

Highly recommended

enquired to a few companies regarding cask investment, I was not impressed as most were like double glazing salesman , you could tell they just wanted to suck you in to take your money. Then I got a call back from Aaron Carpenter from Vintage and knew this was a company I could trust, these boys make commission on the future sale of your cask so it’s a team effort. There is no point them selling you a cask that does not perform as they loose out as well, Arron updated me on all aspects of the whisky market and I eventually invested £12k on 2 casks with them and intend investing more in the near future

Highly recommended and thank you Arron

Robert is extremely knowledgable and suggested a number of options. He detailed the reasoning behind each potential purchase and threw in some history, and future options for the investment.
Vintage Acquisitions have an ethos that drives good customer relationships and they have interesting future developments planned.

I have no previous experience of investing in whiskey so I am pleased report that from my first enquiry to purchase I found Vintage Acquisitions' representative, Matthew, to be very helpful and informative about buying some barrels for my grandsons. Matthew kept in touch without being "pushy" while I was deciding about the purchase. I feel confident the investment is in safe hands.

Fantastic end-to-end service for my first whisky investment!

This was my first time investing in whisky and I couldn't have asked for more from my new account manager Robin after being referred to Vintage Acquisitions by a friend.
From the initial phone call, through to purchasing my first cask, I was very impressed by his knowledge, expertise and passion for the industry and investment strategies.
I was also introduced to one of the partners, Adam and I was very impressed with the vision for Vintage Acquisitions. They even accommodated the purchase and selling of a cask so that I could see the full end-to-end operational process. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this was completed in just a few days in a very professional manner. This gave me the confidence to invest further.
The whole experience with Vintage Acquisitions was fantastic!
I am building relationships and learning more about the strategies of investing in whisky so much so that after purchasing my first whisky cask and seeing the end-to-end process, I have purchased several more whisky casks and looking at longer term investments strategies. I am excited what the future holds.
I am truly delighted with Vintage Acquisitions and would highly recommend them to anyone thinking of investing in whisky.
