Description
Valuation Summary 📝
To ensure the competitiveness of this investment, we conducted a thorough market analysis by reviewing recent transactions of comparable Glentauchers casks and evaluating the current market value of similar Scotch whisky casks. The offered purchase price, inclusive of associated fees, remains highly competitive within the whisky investment market. We used the historical performance data of whisky casks, factoring in the 10-year maturation period and broader trends in the single malt Scotch whisky market.
For the conservative scenario, we assume a growth rate in line with historical inflation rates in Switzerland, reflecting a low-risk, stable approach. In the balanced scenario, we use the average annual return across all whisky casks. In the ambitious scenario, we calculate 100% of the average annual return of our May 2024 Craigellachie exit (gross return excluding all fees).
Exit Options at Maturity 🚪
At maturity, we will handle the exit strategy on behalf of investors, seeking to maximize returns based on prevailing market conditions. We will carefully assess market conditions and choose the option that ensures the best possible outcome for investors.
