This is especially common for independent distilleries that need to raise funds to cover their running expenses and continue producing whisky that may take several years to a decade to mature before it is ready for bottling. Selling casks is a way for distilleries to release capital from their inventory without taking out a loan while also promoting brand loyalty.
Investing in casks may be a wise decision for whisky enthusiasts because there’s a worldwide high demand for fine whisky, with demand surpassing the current capacity to produce and mature whisky.
