A spokesperson for Whisky Partners said: “Here at Whisky Partners, we help people from all walks of life with their cask ownership journey. What was once a hidden investment, reserved for the elite few in the know can now be enjoyed by all. Purchasing casks in bulk from leading Scotch Whisky distilleries, we are able to pass the savings onto our clients, making the barrier of entry as low as possible, with options starting from just a few thousand pounds.

“To legally be classed as Scotch Whisky, the new make spirit created by the distillery must mature in a cask for at least three years and a day. Although this change does increase the value of the cask, in general the most desirable whiskies are those known as age statements with casks and bottles over ten years of age worth considerably more.
