FAQ'S

How much does it cost to invest in a wine or spirit?

The cost varies based on the distillery, age, and type of cask. Our team will guide you in selecting the best option for your budget.

Where are the casks & bottles stored?

Your cask is securely stored in government-bonded warehouses, ensuring ideal aging conditions and full protection.

What is included in a cask or bottle purchase?

Our cask & bottle sales are tailored to you, so we offer both aged and new make casks. Storage and insurance is included on most purchases; however, this does depend on which you choose so please make sure you read the item’s description thoroughly.

Is there a minimum holding period?

When you purchase a cask or bottle from us, it’s yours and you take ownership of it. However, we strongly suggest any wine or spirit that is purchased as an investment should be looked at as a minimum hold time of five years.

Do I take delivery of my cask or bottle?

Purchasing a cask or bottle doesn’t mean that you need to find a way to store it - casks & bottles must legally be stored in duty-suspended bonded warehouses in Scotland as they mature. You won't need to pay the excise and duty if you don’t bottle your whisky and most cask investors sell them on for a profit.

Why are wine & spirit investments so popular?

Wine & spirits have proved to be an excellent alternative investment. They are a tangible asset, and at times has offered more financial security than stocks and shares, with value usually rising with age. We’re not able to give any guarantees about the likely performance of a cask but we can reference past performance.

How do I sell my cask or bottle?

When it comes to selling your cask or bottle, there are multiple exit options that Decant Index can assist with.

Please note that any numerical figures or investment performance results mentioned on our website, connected or related sites and content are based on historical data and are provided for informational purposes only. Past performance is not indicative of future results, and there are no guarantees of any specific investment returns. All investments involve risks, and you should carefully consider your own financial circumstances and seek professional advice before making any investment decisions. Do not invest unless you are prepared to lose the money you have invested. Decant Index employees are not tax advisors and cannot advise on the tax benefits of asset investment. Tax treatment is subject to HMRC guidelines. If you require tax advice on asset investment, you should seek the advice of a qualified tax advisor. Decant Index is not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, and we do not offer any specific financial advice on the use of assets as investments. As this is an unregulated product, investing in this asset does not afford the same protection as regulated products. Any investment is, therefore, speculative.

Fees do apply: please see our terms and conditions. If you are purchasing wine, whisky or rum cask for investment, you must consider the cost of maintaining your cask. You maybe liable for storage and insurance. The price will be dependent on how comprehensive the policy is and premiums may increase on an annual basis. It is advisable to perform regular health checks on your cask or wine every three years. Decant Index may occasionally require certain information from you to comply with HMRC requirements.

Casks: Cask services are chargeable to you, including regauging, samples, and photographs. All casks are stored within HMRC-bonded warehouses and are subject to strict rules and regulations set by HMRC. If you wish to sample or bottle your cask, duty and VAT will be due before the whisky or rum has been bottled and the finished goods are removed from the HMRC-bonded warehouses. This remains the responsibility of the cask owner. “New Make” spirit has to be matured for 3 years, during which time its alcoholic strength could reduce. In addition, the volume of spirit will decrease over time (“the Angels’ share”). For the product to be classed as “whisky”, it must retain a minimum strength of 40%.
