There are whisky investors all around the world who have been adding whisky casks to their portfolios for a long time. Investing in high quality alcohol is a very attractive proposition due to historical returns of close to 13% per annum. In the past, whiskey investors were mostly wealthy private investors who were not deterred by the high barriers to entry. This is because not everyone has the necessary capital, contacts or time to acquire such an investment on their own. 
 
Whisky must be matured in a cask for at least three years before it can officially be called "whisky". Three years is not always the final figure, there are many whiskeys that are aged for 10, 12 or even 20 years before being bottled. 
 
Since whisky does not continue to mature after bottling, it is crucial to let it mature in the cask until the desired age is reached. 
 
For distilleries, this means that a lot of capital is tied up in whisky casks that sit around unused for years before the contents are bottled and sold. The tied-up capital could otherwise be used by the distillery for investments in research and development activities, facilities or marketing. 
 
Due to high demand, whisky is being bottled younger and younger. This means that we are already in possession of a scarce commodity. The scarcer the commodity, the higher the earnings potential.

On the one hand, investing in ageing Scotch whisky is something that has been done for more than a century. 
 
Bonnington as a brand, or John Crabbie &amp; Co. as a distillery, was only launched in 2018. The company is run by David Brown, a veteran of the whisky industry.

Track Record

Braeburn Whisky specialised in the sale of investment-grade whisky casks to investors around the globe. 
 
Innovative technology, combined with a team of financial experts and whisky enthusiasts, allows the company to build whisky portfolios that have, historically, helped to protect wealth and deliver strong capital growth to investors.

Protecting the financial future with a solid foundation 
With financial markets experiencing large swings and becoming clouded in uncertainty, Braeburn began to question the reliance on traditional investment products. Clients needed to protect their future by building a solid foundation that was grounded in tangible assets demonstrating strong historical returns across economic cycles. As Braeburn evaluated hundreds of asset classes, the team was shocked by the findings. One of the world’s most lucrative investments was being overlooked by most investors. 
 
Discover The Wealth Building Power Of Whisky Investment 
For decades, a select group of forward thinking investors have built substantial wealth by capitalising on the economics of the whisky industry. Investing in whisky casks, or barrels, offer the opportunity to capitalise on the nature appreciation of the single malt liquid as it matures over time. Whisky investment brings peace of mind to any portfolio by delivering extraordinary historical returns with the security of a tangible asset that is surging in demand. 
 
Now, everyone can put the power of whisky investment to work in their own portfolio.
