CASK OWNERSHIP
Clients own individually allocated whisky casks held in bonded storage.
STORAGE
Casks are stored in HMRC-authorised bonded warehouses in Scotland.
V.A.T
Casks stored in bonded warehouses benefit from suspended excise duty arrangements while in bond. Clients should seek independent tax advice regarding VAT or other tax liabilities.
PERFORMANCE
Ownership of individual casks means investors are not participating in a pooled investment fund.
GUARANTEE
BONDED STORAGE PROTECTION
Casks stored in HMRC bonded warehouses remain identifiable assets owned by the client, although administrative or transfer processes may still be required in the event of insolvency.
FULLY INSURED
Casks are insured against specified risks including theft and accidental damage, subject to policy terms and limits.
