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.

The Guild of Irish Whiskey partners with Proofworks to modernize cask ownership using smart contracts and 'Digital Deeds. Each cask receives a unique digital ID and QR code, ensuring secure, blockchain-backed records of origin, age, ownership, and storage. This system enhances trust, mitigates fraud, and provides full transparency for investors.

* Seek independent advice regarding tax from a reputable tax practitioner in your country, as regulations may vary.
