The process of learning about whisky and purchasing the casks was very interesting and educational. The purchase of the recomended casks was easy and simple with Ben explaining why he had selected those casks and the options available. The experiance was of top service and hopefully good quality products for the future.

Well, "alternative" investments are always going to be the subject of much discussion, particularly in this scam ridden world. I accepted my wife's disquiet, and went ahead anyway; and, so far (canny Scot here), so good. The Company's communications are good and the marketing is excellent. After 6 months or so, I'm a believer. This is a fun, personal, investment, and, if you have a few £k to spare, then you should consider it with VCL

My first experience of investing in whisky with VCL Vintners has been first class. From first contact, opening discussions, through to signing the investment contract, the experience has been a good one. Ben answered any questions and made recommendations and advised on my portfolio of whisky. His knowledge and enthusiasm of the market were clear from the start, and has been a pleasure to chat to. I look forward to building our business relationship. I 've had a great experience so far, so now, I just need to give it some time and see how the different investments work out. All being well, I'm sure I shall be giving them a 10/10 rating in the not too distant future.

From first contact with Ben Lancaster, my experience has been positive. In the world of alternative investments, the sense of integrity and professionalism is important and I have felt confident on these grounds in my dealings with VCL.

I have had excellent service from George initially and then Benjamin who helped with selection of casks. They clearly explained the whiskey cask market.

It was my first time investing with VCL, and overall, I had a really positive experience. Ben was friendly, knowledgeable, and welcomed all my questions. I never felt pressured or rushed into making a decision, which helped put my mind at ease. The welcome pack with samples was a nice touch as well.

Each step is done at your pace with no pressure to buy cask but left to your speed of doing things they will give you ideas as to different casks and look at area you ask for

Thanks George for your help and assistance with getting me onboard. I do hope that you enjoyed our lighthearted conversations as much as I did. Thanks again for your patience and hope fully if performance is as good as indicated in the next 6 months then I may invest in some more casks. Thanks again Kev

I can honestly say that i am very happy to recommend VCL and especially Shane.. Whiskey investment is a new venture for us, so after extensive research into it and also looking into VCL we took the plunge. Shane was very helpful and patient, after several phone calls and lots of questions we made our investment, it was so simple... We are looking forward to growing our portfolio with VCL... Thank you !

Dealing with VCL Vintners was an absolute pleasure from start til finish, although there is no noticeable finish as this is very much a long term partnership which can easily stretch into decades+. I had been wanting to move some of my saving in to whisky casks for some time, but I was wary to commit as I didn’t really know much about it. After speaking to Max my concerns were put aside and I became not only a willing investor but an excited investor. Max was professional, and knowledgeable but above all he was patient with me explaining every aspect of the process in an easy to understand manner. I look forward to being in business with VCL Vintners and Max for the future years to come, hopefully adding to my portfolio along the way.

He was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He explained everything in an informative way, this give me the confidence to make my first investment in whisky. The entire process was straightforward and was enjoyable. Shane was transparent throughout the process and a pleasure to work with. Overall, I can say that this was an exciting experience and I would not hesitate to recommend VCL VINTNERS. Thank you Shane for excellent customer care and supporting me through my first investment. I will hopefully invest further in the further.
