Yes. The price on a cask's record is the full price — nothing is added at checkout.

Every whisky cask on this site is our own stock — we are the seller, and the contract of sale is with us directly, not an introduction to a third party.

The same day, our supplier issues the delivery order and we pass it to the warehouse currently holding your cask — that's when ownership transfers to you. Afterwards, we move your cask to Campbeltown Bondat our own cost, in your name (skipped if it's already there), where Campbeltown Bond will set up your own direct account for your cask, so you can see and manage it directly.These are the same steps shown on every cask's own record page.

In two real, distinct steps. First, once both parties confirm handover, your purchase is recorded against the cask's ownership history with us — a necessary step, but not on its own the point ownership becomes legally complete. Separately, the bonded warehouse holding your cask at the time updates its own records to show you as the owner — that update, made directly in the warehouse's own records, is the step that actually completes it. Moving your cask to Campbeltown Bond afterwards is a separate step, and doesn't affect when your ownership became legally complete.

Once your cask transfer is confirmed, Campbeltown Bond will set up your own direct account for your cask, so you can see and manage it directly.

Casks priced over £8,000 include 3 years of storage and insurance at Campbeltown Bond, from the date ownership transfers to you. After that — or for casks at £8,000 or under, from the start — Campbeltown Bond charges its standard rates directly to you, which we confirm before you buy. Either way, we move your cask to Campbeltown Bond at our own cost. Other warehouse services, such as regauging or sampling, aren't included.

Whisky casks are often described as exempt from capital gains tax as "wasting assets". Whether that applies depends on your circumstances, including how often you buy and sell. We don't give tax advice, so please speak to a tax adviser.

Where shown, price context is directional only, based on available comparable evidence and its own stated confidence tier. It is not a guarantee of sale price, future value, buyer demand, or that a transaction will complete — no financial return, appreciation, liquidity or resale outcome is promised by anything on this site.

If you're buying from an EU or EEA country, you have a real 14-day right to withdraw from the purchase after the warehouse confirms the transfer, for a full refund.

You'll verify your identity and age before paying. The minimum purchase age depends on your country — 18 in the UK, but genuinely different in some other jurisdictions — and is checked at the point of purchase, not assumed in advance.

Yes, and there are a few real routes: sell to another private buyer (you set the price, we help you find one), sell to the trade (bottlers, brokers or our own supplier — usually a lower, trade price), a specialist auction house, or have it bottled. See selling your cask later for the honest detail on each. We can't promise a buyer, a price or a return, and we don't buy casks back ourselves.
