How assets are held and managed.
Cask warehousing, bottle storage, security and records, with real infrastructure in Scotland through Scotch Whisky Warehousing.
Assets, records and condition
A cask is a living asset and a bottle is a fragile one. Both need looking after, and both need paperwork.
Casks rest in bonded, duty-suspended warehouses in Scotland; bottles sit in condition-controlled storage. Around them run security, records, handling, insurance and monitoring, all in your name and all inside our own group.
Eight parts to holding an asset properly
None of it is glamorous. All of it decides what the asset is worth when you come to sell.
Cask warehousing
Bonded, duty-suspended storage for maturing casks in Scotland.
Bottle storage
Condition-controlled storage for collectible bottles, upright and dark.
Security
Physical security, access control and continuous monitoring.
Documentation
Records confirming the asset and your ownership of it.
Handling
Careful handling, sampling and regauging through maturation.
Insurance
Cover arranged for stored assets at market value.
Inventory
Ongoing inventory and portfolio records per holding.
Monitoring
Regular oversight of condition and value over time.
Storage is not outsourced to strangers.
One party answers for the asset
Our own warehouse in Glenrothes holds the casks, our own people handle them, and one point of contact stays with you from the day an asset arrives to the day it leaves. No broker chain in between.
