Important: About these figures

These four exits are illustrative examples from Platinum Cask's realised track record of 50+ whole cask exits through our Cask Fractions platform since 2018. Individual returns have ranged from approximately 5% to 292%. These are not averages. They are specific realised outcomes on specific casks.

The Platinum Cask Fractions platform allows clients to buy a fraction of a whole cask from £20. The figures shown represent the realised return on the whole cask as an asset. Fraction holders receive their proportional share of the cask's realised exit value. The same underlying cask performance applies whether you purchase the whole cask or a fraction of one.

Past performance is not indicative of future returns. Individual results vary by cask, distillery, age, hold period, and market conditions at time of exit. Whisky cask investments carry risk and are unregulated in the UK.

Why Platinum Cask

Not just a brokerage. The full ecosystem.

Platinum Cask operates under Fah Mai Holdings (OTC: FMHG), a publicly traded parent company. We trade, store, audit, auction, bottle, and distribute whisky. That infrastructure is what makes clean exits possible.

Bulk purchasing power

We buy in bulk across our trading divisions. That volume gives us access to cask inventory and pricing that smaller brokers can't match.

Publicly traded parent

Fah Mai Holdings is listed OTC: FMHG, SEC-registered, and NASDAQ-audited. Financial transparency and accountability that most private cask firms simply don't have.

Full exit infrastructure

Whisky Bull Auctions, independent bottling, global import/distribution, plus a 100,000+ buyer network. When you want to sell, we have multiple routes ready.

Transparent, published fees

Storage £50/year. Minimum hold 3 years. All exit fees published. No hidden markups. What you see is what you pay, before you commit a penny.

Full legal title transfer

You receive an ownership certificate in your name. The cask is legally yours. Not a fund unit, not a promise. If anything ever happens to Platinum Cask, your cask remains your property.

Realised exits, not projections

50+ cask exits realised through our Cask Fractions platform since 2018. Not paper gains, not indicative valuations. Actual sales at actual prices. The full ROI report is inside the Investor Pack.

HMRC Tax Treatment

A whisky cask is classed as a 'wasting asset' under HMRC guidelines.

Because wooden casks naturally evaporate a small percentage of their contents each year (the 'angel's share'), HMRC classifies them as wasting assets with a predictable life under 50 years. As such, profits from selling a whole cask are not subject to Capital Gains Tax.

This is a significant structural advantage over many other alternative investments. UK Duty and VAT only become relevant if the cask is bottled and removed from bond.

Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may change. Platinum Cask does not provide tax advice. Please consult a qualified tax adviser regarding your specific situation.

Important Information

Risk Warning: Whisky cask investments are unregulated in the UK. The value of investments is variable and can go down as well as up. Past performance is not indicative of future results and does not give a guide for the future. You should not invest more than you can afford to lose. Platinum Cask does not provide financial advice. Please seek independent financial advice before making any investment decision.

Fees: Storage and insurance is charged at £50 per cask per year (minimum 3-year hold). Exit fees vary by route and are fully disclosed in the Investor Pack and purchase agreement. If you choose to bottle your cask, UK Duty and VAT become payable at the point of removal from bond. The volume of spirit in a cask decreases over time due to evaporation (the 'Angel's Share'). New make spirit must mature for a minimum of 3 years at 40% ABV or above to be legally classed as 'whisky'.

Cancellation: You have the right to cancel your purchase. Please refer to the full terms and conditions for details of the cancellation process and any associated costs.

Realising Your Investment: Exit routes include buy-back by Platinum Cask / Fah Mai Holdings, sale at auction via Whisky Bull Auctions, sale to a bottler or blender, or private sale via our member network. Each route has associated fees and conditions. Platinum Cask can facilitate sales but cannot guarantee a specific buyer or price. Full details are provided in the Investor Pack and the cask purchase agreement.
