Why Invest in a Rare Whisky Cask?
Over the last decade; investing in whisky has become increasingly popular, but why is there such a deluge of shrewd investors taking advantage of the market?
Whisky is outperforming assets across the board. The published data from Knight Frank highlights the very best performing whiskies have returned over 550% across the last decade.
Tax benefits:
When investing in casked whisky, the “angels” will begin to take their share. 0.2-0.5% of alcohol is lost to evaporation each year, therefore casked whisky is deemed by HMRC as a ‘wasting asset’ meaning all profits are exempt from capital gains tax and one of the greatest benefits when you invest in casked whisky.
The absence of capital gains tax when you invest into Cask Whisky makes it more financially viable compared to the returns achieved from bottled whisky.
