Invest in Irish whiskey with the experts at London Cask Company

“Irish whiskey is the most exciting spirit in the world right now and it looks like we’re set for yet more decades of blistering performance”.

Scott Flook, Expert in whiskey investment and owner of London Cask Company.

Our genuine enthusiasm for Irish whiskey is matched only by our passion for sharing it with you. At London Cask Company, we offer a complete, tailored service that enables you to invest in premium Irish whiskey. 

Dubbed liquid gold by the Financial Times, Irish whiskey is one of the world’s most profitable assets, providing average returns of 10%-12% per annum over the past ten years.

Moreover, the ownership of Irish whiskey casks provides a unique experience. It’s also an opportunity to cherish one of the world’s finest spirits and makes an exceptional gift for both connoisseurs and casual enthusiasts. 

Working with award-winning distilleries in Ireland, our long-standing relationships enable us to bring you high-quality whiskey. This ensures both an attractive and rewarding addition to a balanced portfolio for discerning investors looking for assets that defy traditional markets*. 

But what makes Irish whiskey so special?

The market for Irish whiskey continues to grow

Whiskey is a consistent leader in the Knight Frank Luxury Index. In the last 12-months, it’s grown by 40% and by 582% within a decade, meaning it’s outperformed coins, art and diamonds*. 
 
Aged Irish whiskey in particular is a highly sought-after, valuable and most importantly, tradable commodity where demand continues to outstrip supply. In 2019, sales of Irish whiskey topped $1 billion in the United States alone while global sales have grown by more than 80 million bottles every year over the last ten years.  

A physical and liquid asset that provides tax-free growth

Whiskey is not tied to the stock market and has a much smaller risk profile compared to more traditional asset classes. It’s also an investment that needs minimal medium to long term management, enabling you to quietly grow the value* of your portfolio with confidence. 

What’s more, as a wasting asset with a shelf life of less than 50 years, whiskey casks are not subject to Capital Gains Tax. Whiskey is also a tangible asset that can be easily realised if necessary as your casks can be sold as Irish whiskey after three years of maturation. 

How to invest in Irish whiskey
