Ben at VCL Vintners has been efficient, professional and courteous throughout the negotiations, patiently explaining all about the process of whisky manufacturing in Scotland, the different types of casks available to invest in and market trends and so on. It has been very interesting and enjoyable getting to the point of investing, which, being a canny Scot, I would never undertake lightly. I hope this is the start of a long and fruitful relationship.

The entire VCL Vinters team made our first experience into the world of cask investment enjoyable. From our initial inquiry to the arrival of our welcome package, the process was professional and customer focused. VCL Vinters exceeded our expectations. They have earned lifelong customers and we would recommend highly to all our friends and associates.

Shane was most helpful in guiding me through the process of my investment. Phone calls were arranged to my convenience and what I found most reassuring was the continuity of speaking to the same person, this built up a connection and rapport that is often missing in our modern world. Shane also replies promptly to my emails, wether that is to answer any questions or assistance online. I feel as I should feel which is a valued individual and not a robotic number. Thankyou for that consistency Shane.

As far as the investment itself, I feel confident that I have made a fully informed wise decision but in fairness only the test of time will prove wether or not it was worthwhile. Meanwhile, I am reassured my cask is stored safely, is fully insured and secure and I trust that the Angels will tread gently with their share.

Finally is the Welcome pack that arrived as soon as the investment was made, beautifully packaged with printed documents and three sample bottles of whisky which as yet are unopened waiting for a family gathering for the big reveal. I look forward to tantalising the taste buds and recording our findings of appearance, nose and palate.

I found that VCL Vintners are a very good broker for buying whisky. Dillon Southgate answered all my questions and has a sound knowledge of the whisky industry and there were no hidden charges . With the samples given and the fact that if I have any questions I can call I feel that I am excited about my investment.

Dillon Southgate covered all aspects of the puchasing and investmment process, clearly and with an understanding of my limited knowledge. I conducted my due diligence and proved that what adivce I received from VCL was true and consistant. I will be recommending them:)

The process for investment is really easy with the assistance.

VCL Vintners fully explained the investment opportunities and how it all worked. They sent us supporting documents, videos and magazine articles. We were able to discuss at length about what was best for us before we proceeded. There was no pressure just advice for us to make an informed decision. We felt confident that we were entering into a joint partnership.

This was my first time investing in whisky. VERY impressed with VCL Vintners. My broker was CJ who couldn’t have done more for me. Friendly and professional service. I was fully informed what I investing in——no pressure sales! Very clearly a company that pride themselves on customer service, the welcome pack was unexpected and a nice touch. Hanks again CJ. G

Thought about investing in whisky and immediately was attracted to the professional outfit that are VCL Vintners.
One of the co-founders of this business contacted me in a professional manner provided all the information I needed and more and immediately set my mind at ease.
Investing was made simple all the relevant documentation arrived immediately electronically and then in hardcopy.
Due to supply and demand there’s only one way the value of whisky can go! so now I can comfortably sit on my investment and watch it grow for the future

Simple, straightforward and with a real feel of honesty. The welcome pack with sample drams from the barrels is a nice touch. Time will tell, if it is a worthwhile investment.

Good communication. Ben is very approachable and available. Also good at break down technical information into layman terms.

I contacted VCL last year for some information on whisky investments. They have since contacted me back and led me through the process which was so simple. I can certainly recommend VCL for their professional approach and the rep I dealt with had a wealth of knowledge.

Investing in whisky is a completely new venture for me and thanks to Ben who explained everything patiently and answered all my questions with regular follow up calls, I am happy that my investment is secure for the foreseeable future.

I have had a great experience with Dillon of VCL helping me create a portfolio of whiskys which I can not only use for investment but to enjoy with samples and future visits. They have been able to develop a relationship based on trust and this has allowed me to feel I have put my money with the right people and the right product.

Great service and flexibility when I sought to liquidate my investment before maturity.

As well as doing my own research, VCL provided all of the information and answers I required. Very helpful, polite, friendly, and patient. Very good customer service. The Welcome Pack was unexpected but very well received.

A very good experience, everything was fully explained both in the literature and in conversation. The whole investment process was clear and efficient.

Very professional throughout the transaction. I would recommend 100% after my first year!

The process was a smooth as the samples of my chosen investment casks. I’m looking forward to a long & successful relationship.

I found Ben to be verify professional during our interactions. He was able to clearly articulate the T&C's of the deal. Special shout out to him for arranging a special token on the closure of the deal.I will definitely recommend to do business with him.
