Very little communication. Have had more information from your competitors then you.

Where do you invest a little money these days? Banks with their pitiful interest rates, volatile shares or even those tempting emails you receive wishing you to invest money in the Um Bongo drink company in the Congo? After some research and a good read through the VCL Vintners website we decided that an investment to leave as a legacy for our grandkids was a good bet. Stuart and Lauren of VCL provided a professional service and we have no hesitation in recommending them, if you believe this is a good option for you. So, we have three casks maturing in Scotland as I type and the Congolese alternative will have lose out.

I was looking for an investment that would outperform my ISA (mind you I could leave it under the floor boards to do that). Having thought about whisky as an investment before, though never looked into it properly, I searched the internet and VCL seemed to tick the box for a first time investor. I was given plenty of information and assistance (with no hard sell). Everything happened exactly as Stuart said. Now I can just sit back and wait for the whisky and my investment to mature.

Throughout my whole experience, from registering an interest back in 2018 to investing with VCL Vintners, the guidance, advice and contact provided has been informative, very helpful and professional. All the members of the VCL team are always quick to respond to any questions/enquires and definitely do have your best interests at heart. Over all an absolutely great experience and I would strongly recommended VCL Vintners to anyone who is serious about investing in this market.

VCL have provided me with positive and enthusiastic advice and recommendations since they came to my attention in 2020. I am also with another whisky cask provider but there customer satisfaction is well below that of VCL from my experience.

We are First time investors in Whisky and Ben from VCL Vintners has made it a very easy and enjoyable experience. Absolutely no pressure just lots of information when needed and requested he has always been available and nothing is too much trouble. Only time will tell how successful our investment will be but I wouldn’t hesitate to use VCL again when funds become available

VCL made my experience of investing in cask whisky seamless. Ben was both knowledgable and professional and promptly answered any queries I had, which put my mind a rest. I highly recommend VCL Vintners if you are looking to start your journey of nvesting in cask whisky, or expanding an existing portfolio.

Nearly all of my encounters were with Ben Lancaster and he was superb from start to finish, from our first call where he explained the procedure and how buying whiskey works to giving me a full understanding of the industry without being pushy, to our follow up calls where he made sure I understood every aspect. The suggestions he sent over were speedy and had so much information on each whiskey he recommended and the reasoning behind each brand, the price point I asked him to come in at was just under budget which was perfect because I didn't feel he was pushing to try and get me to invest more than I was comfortable with. Overall the service provided by VCL and Ben was great, everything from the information provided to the speed in which everything was sent through was excellent. I would defiantly recommend this service to anyone interested!
