What details do I need to send you about my cask to get a valuation?
There are lots of different factors that can affect the value of your cask. You can read more about them here.
The essential information we need is:
- Distillery
- Year of production
- Cask type
- Age
- Original litres of alcohol when cask was filled
All of this information can be provided by the distiller and is a very common, straightforward process. You simply need to call the distillery and ask for a regauge (read more about what a regauge is here)
What happens if I want to accept your offer?
We act as your agent through the process and there is a formal agency agreement/contract that we will post out to you. This outlines all of our legal obligations as your agent
Once we have received the contract we then invoice the buyer and await payment.
After all the funds have cleared you then transfer ownership of the cask to the buyer and we release the funds to you minus our fee.
If you would like to read reviews from our customers you can search Google for Mark Littler and see several dozen independent, 5 star reviews from happy clients.
We can also provide references upon request.
What do you charge for selling your cask of whisky?
Our fee is a flat 10% with no hidden fees or VAT.
Am I tied into a contract for a certain period of time?
No. Unlike other brokers we work on a successful offer only basis. This means that we secure offers from clients who are ready to move forward with the sale of the cask immediately.
Other brokers may take your cask on consignment and then advertise the cask for sale for a set period, say 6 months. They would ask for complete exclusivity even though they may not even be able to find you a buyer.
