Just had a call from Cask 88, they seem to be more about the investment side of barrel ownership, buy a barrel at new, they store it, and in 5-20 years flog it to some other mug who doesn't want to wait for their whisky.
Reckon 13% year on year increase in value, if you got £5000 to spend, then he recommended a 5yo perhaps as the increase will be greater, and easier to sell in the mid term.
Has a 7yo Ben Nevis for £4200, and they seem to move fast.
Will keep in touch with him for future updates (As i may invest me impending inheritance on scotch)
Each barrel comes with 3 years storage and insurance, after that it is £65/y for storage in insurance.
Currently they are in the midst of getting their own Cask88 warehouse bonded to store all clients whiskys, rather than the current "stored at the distillery" model.
(Barrel = cask in this conversation)
(edit: once the price list comes in i will share)
