Complete Novice

As a complete novice I was taken through the purchasing process including all the possible pitfalls by Olivia my account manager. Her knowledge of the industry and the product completely put my mind to rest and was always available if I had any questions

Exceptional Service!

From start to finish Vintage Acquisitions and Olivia in particular has been absolutely superb!
As complete novices to purchasing a whisky cask, Olivia made the entire experience as smooth and easy as possible in the way she explained every single step of the process clearly and professionally.
She is a knowledgeable and efficient communicator who gives sound advice and recommendations. As new customers, slightly apprehensive about this kind of investment, she gave us the confidence to go ahead with our purchase.
We are truly delighted and would recommend Vintage Acquisitions and Olivia to anyone thinking of investing in a whisky cask.

I was referred to Vintage Acquisitions with Lauren

I was referred to Vintage Acquisitions by a friend, and we went through a process of investing together with the help of Lauren from Vintage Acquisitions, who was great in helping us with our investments. We have built a relationship with her and thank her for her patience, support and guidance thought this initial process. Lauren invited us to the office to meet the team and really made an effort to make us feel comfortable and to provide us with as much information we needed before taking on any investments. She regularly keeps us updated with information and is always available to speak to if needed! we look forward to working with her in the future and growing our portfolio.

From offering to purchase my 27 yr old…

From offering to purchase my 27 yr old cask to prompt payment, Robin & George’s advice and knowledge made it enjoyable & professional. I can’t wait to buy a couple of bottles from it soon as I didn’t need the 200+ it held. It has been a profitable investment too!

Vintage Accusations whiskey.

I Enquired about investing in whiskey for the first time. Totally in the dark about everything, didnt have a clue about anything but was contacted by Lauren at vintage. She walked me through everything and made sure I understood it all. Wasn’t at all pushy and helped every bit of the way. She was an absolute delight to deal with and i look forward to dealing with her again in the near future. My experience was so reassuring and exciting that i will be dealing again when i can afford it.

10/10 would recommend

I have invested in several asset classes before, this was my first time in Whisky. Robin Harrington was my point of contact throughout and made the whole process relaxed, easy and thoroughly enjoyable. I was invited to their offices where Rob even stayed late on a Friday afternoon before a bank holiday weekend to go through questions, tasting notes and what I am looking for in my investment with me. I will 100% be planning to invest again with VA and Rob in the near future. 10/10 would recommend.

First time Whisky investor

First time Whisky investor and so far I couldn't ask for more from my new Account Manager Olivia!
From the initial phone call, through to purchasing my first cask, her knowledge and passion for the industry really shines through.
Any investment is a leap of faith but from the phone calls, emails and zoom chats I've had, I trust that I am good hands for what I hope will be a long, profitable relationship.

My first Whiskey investment.

I have been looking for sometime to invest in something like this and I finally made an enquiry with VA. I got a call from Rosie who has been dealing with my investment and from start to finish has talked me through everything that there is to know about investing in Whiskey. There was no pressure and I feel that they listened to what I needed and advised me the best course to take.

Rosie and the whole team have made me feel welcome and comfortable throughout the whole process and needless to say I will be making many more trades in years to come.

My first investment in whiskey

This has been my first experience of investing in whiskey and I had little or no knowledge of this type of investment. Olivia Frost has been the trader that has helped me in this process and has been extremely helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and professional throughout. I would strongly suggest anyone who is interested in this type of investment, will be very well looked after by Olivia and the team.

I highly recommend Vintage Acquisitions…

I highly recommend Vintage Acquisitions for their knowledge and expertise. We decided to dip a toe into the whisky world, as interest rates were so awful, almost three years ago and we haven't been disappointed. They are a lovely bunch and there's no hard sell. In particular, our guy Matthew has given us excellent advice and guidance, providing us with a strategy that suits our needs and time of life, something we definitely would not have been able to do ourselves. Our recent valuation figures far exceeded our expectations, he has definitely set us on the right path. It's a pleasure to have such a lovely guy to deal with, we are very grateful.

A customer for life

I've had the bug of getting a cask as an investment for a few years now, but never looked into it. I've started doing some homework and contacting companies like Vintage Acquisitions: I've had the luck of getting in touch with Ryan Jones, a man with a passion for what he does, good expertise and something many salesman lack, patience.
We went at my own pace. I've asked to be given time to think, review the information he sent over and I was not given non-requested lessons when I was taking time.
I've ended buying it first cask a little longer than a month ago. The attention to detail and to the customer did not stop once the sale was completed.
I will definitely will be investing more through Vintage Acquisition and through Ryan

He is also one of the few people that I talked to, during my initial research for a company to invest with in the whisky cask business, with no mistakes in any of the math involving the ROI and such. Or worse, using false bottle value to advertise a higher ROI.
I really enjoyed every step of this journey so far and hope to deal with Ryan and VA for years to come.

Trustworthy & honest. Their experience is second to none.

The first thing you notice about this company is how genuine they are. Everyone I have spoken to has been honest and never pushy to make a sale. They seem interested in me being successful rather than just making the sale. Their knowledge is way better than the other companies I have spoken to. It's also good that they have been in the business for a long time, much longer than anyone else. Highly recommended.

First investment in whisky casks

I did quite a lot of research in to which company I would trust my investment with. In what is becoming a very busy market I found my self saturated with cold calls and call centres chasing my potential investment in whisky.
It was therefore refreshing to deal with Ryan at Vintage Aquisitions. A 1 to 1 zoom call from VAs whisky room where the company model was explained and all my questions were answered clearly. I finished the call knowing that VA would get my investment. Ryan followed up 2 days later with 2 potential investments and once I chose I was guided through the buying process. The whole experience was great and I am confident that I have made the right decision. Ryan was knowledgeable, down to earth and professional. A great experience and am delighted with my decision.
