You have the freedom to explore your own options as a client but when it comes to selling your cask, there are multiple exit options that Whisky Partners can assist with.

You can sell at auction and with whisky casks becoming increasingly popular, they are one of the rising stars at leading auction houses around the world. Casks have a solid history of beating auction estimates and yielding windfall profits to sellers.

You can sell to independent bottlers who purchase casks to bottle and label under their own brands or buy New Make Spirit casks to mature in their own warehouses.

Blenders also purchase casks and there is huge demand from them for New Make Spirit that they will use to create blended whiskies.

Of course, there are also private investors or collectors looking to purchase mature stock and this exit strategy is incredibly valuable when considering the bidding wars that begin after the eight-year benchmark.

And finally, you may decide to bottle your own whisky and you absolutely can do so. Please note that you will be responsible for paying excise duty at this point and there may be additional licensing requirements.
