Disclaimer: You must be 18 years or older to purchase alcohol-based products from Decant Index. Information provided by Decant Index is of a purely general nature to inform you of the wine, whisky cask and rum cask industry, and it does not always relate to trades, sales or returns carried out or achieved by Decant Index. Please note that any numerical figures or investment performance results mentioned on our website, connected or related sites and content are based on historical data and are provided for informational purposes only. Past performance is not indicative of future results, and there are no guarantees of any specific investment returns. All investments involve risks, and you should carefully consider your own financial circumstances and seek professional advice before making any investment decisions. Do not invest unless you are prepared to lose the money you have invested. Decant Index employees are not tax advisors and cannot advise on the tax benefits of asset investment. Tax treatment is subject to HMRC guidelines. If you require tax advice on asset investment, you should seek the advice of a qualified tax advisor. Decant Index is not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, and we do not offer any specific financial advice on the use of assets as investments. As this is an unregulated product, investing in this asset does not afford the same protection as regulated products. Any investment is, therefore, speculative.

Fees do apply: please see our terms and conditions. If you are purchasing wine, whisky or rum cask for investment, you must consider the cost of maintaining your cask. You maybe liable for storage and insurance. The price will be dependent on how comprehensive the policy is and premiums may increase on an annual basis. It is advisable to perform regular health checks on your cask or wine every three years. Decant Index may occasionally require certain information from you to comply with HMRC requirements.

Casks: Cask services are chargeable to you, including regauging, samples, and photographs. All casks are stored within HMRC-bonded warehouses and are subject to strict rules and regulations set by HMRC. If you wish to sample or bottle your cask, duty and VAT will be due before the whisky or rum has been bottled and the finished goods are removed from the HMRC-bonded warehouses. This remains the responsibility of the cask owner. “New Make” spirit has to be matured for 3 years, during which time its alcoholic strength could reduce. In addition, the volume of spirit will decrease over time (“the Angels’ share”). For the product to be classed as “whisky”, it must retain a minimum strength of 40%.
