Why Distilleries Need Investors

Whiskey requires a minimum of three years to be legally classified as Irish whiskey, often aging much longer to achieve premium quality. This long maturation period ties up capital, making external investors crucial to a distillery’s success. Historically, only an elite few had access to cask investment. Now, The Guild of Irish Whiskey is democratizing this market, allowing visionary investors to own a part of Ireland’s rich whiskey heritage.

This is more than an investment—it’s a chance to be part of a timeless tradition. Whether you hold onto your cask long term or choose one of the many available exit strategies.

Your Cask Investment Journey

Tangible Asset:

Cask Irish whiskey is a physical asset you can touch, see, and even enjoy, offering a more personal connection than many other investments.

Fully Insured:

Each cask comes with 8 years of storage and insurance in a bonded warehouse, ensuring its safety.

HMRC Registered:

All casks are HMRC-registered, with a certificate of ownership and a unique cask number for verification. Through our partnership with ProofWorks, each cask is also secured with blockchain-backed 'Digital Deeds,' ensuring full transparency, authenticity, and fraud protection for investors.

Zero Capital Gains Tax on Sale*:

Cask Irish whiskey is considered a "wasting asset," meaning no capital gains tax is due when sold in cask and in bond.

High Profit Potential:

Historical sales of casks, such as a 12-year-old cask sold for €75,000 and a 27-year-old cask for €907,000, show significant profit potential.

Diversified Low-Risk Investment:

While values may fluctuate, whiskey cask investments have historically increased, providing a low-risk, diversified addition to any portfolio, even for retirement planning.
