He has been very attentive and continued to provide feedback during the sale process and he managed to achieve an exceptional price for us.

“Mark was an absolute pleasure to work with. Delighted to have discovered him during an internet search researching how best to sell two casks of 50 year old Scottish whiskey. He is professional, knowledgeable and quickly responded to my endless questions. It was a smooth transaction and am very pleased with the price he was able to secure. Highly recommend!”

“Have several casks of high end whisky, I decided to sell one of my investments. An internet search revealed Mark Littler. Only person to respond to my email. Mark sold my first cask in weeks. New exactly what he was talking about and doing . The price was at the very high end of his valuation. He did all the work, I just signed the sales document. as easy as that. Money transferred into my account, and you are talking thousands too. Much appreciated, will now sell another cask as the time is right.”

“Mark recently helped to successfully sell my cask of Macallan single malt whisky.
From our initial discussion I was impressed with the depth of his knowledge and his professional approach. Mark guided me through each step of the process, providing reasons and insights to ensure I made the correct decisions. His estimate of the value of the cask was spot on.
I would have no hesitation in using his professional services again.”

“Just over 10 years ago I visited the Bruichladdich distillery and bought a newly filled fresh bourbon barrel. Having allowed it to mature I needed to decide what to do with it. Bruichladdich made an unattractive offer to buy it back. I became aware of Mark Littler, from a Google search. I contacted him based on the many positive reviews. After talking to him and learning of his experience of selling casks I commissioned him to sell my cask.Dealing with Mark has been a pleasure, he has guided me through the process and I have received over 3 times the offer from Bruichladdich. I have found Mark to be realistic and helpful and I recommend his services.”

“I had a cask of 10 year old Bruichladdich to sell. Googled potential buyers. Some traders didn’t bother to reply, even though I had sent full details. Mark was brilliant from the word go … very professional and kept me well informed of progress. I ended up with over 50% more from him than my next best offer! Payment was very prompt.I would highly recommend Mark. Don’t waste time with the others … they will just cause exasperation!!Thanks Mark . Pleasure doing business with you!”

“Excellent services and communication! We are a group of Nordic guys, completely amateurs in the whisky market, who ended up with a cask 20 years ago when we were still quite young, without any plan about how to handle this. We were lucky to find someone like Mark, who got us a decent price and guided us through the process when we wanted to sell it. Payment and everything went smoothly overseas.”

“Mark Littler provided what we can only describe as an outstanding service in relation to the sale of some family casks of whisky. The whole process was conducted professionally and we were kept well- informed at every stage. We thoroughly and unhesitatingly recommend anyone considering the use of an independent broker to go to Mark’s firm. Thank you, Mark.

“Really pleased that I chose Mark to broker and manage the sale of my two Bruichladdich casks. He was extremely professional, very pleasant to deal with and I was very satisfied with the price he managed to obtain for both my casks. I would have no hesitation in recommending him and his service.”

“Having decided to sell our cask of Bruicladdich (which was held at the distillery), but with no idea how to do it, we approached Mark. He informed us of the process, both by email and over the phone and then found a buyer prepared to offer significantly more than the distillery buy-back offer. Mark then arranged transfer of ownership and once that was completed we were promptly paid.
“Thank you Mark, we couldn’t have done this without you and we were pleased to find that you lived up to your many excellent reviews!

We commend him highly to anyone with good whisky to sell”.

“Mark provided an outstanding 5 star service in the sale of our whisky casks. He gave professional & knowledgeable advice & we could not be happier with the outcome. He made the often administratively tricky process of whisky cask sales seamless for us & the whole transaction was extremely efficient. Communication was excellent from start to finish & we would have no hesitation in highly recommending the service Mark offers. Do not hesitate; we will actively be seeking to use his services again!”

“Contacted to sell [a] cask of whisky. I could not have asked for better service, communication or completion of the process. Expectations and explanations were handled well, and everything went smoothly right up to and including the final payment for selling of the cask. If you have whisky to sell, I would make Mark Littler your first choice to handle things for you.”

“I approached Mark with some trepidation about the sale of a cask of whisky having no idea how to sell it. Mark is eminently knowledgeable about the resale process and before long had secured a very good offer. I was very impressed with the way Mark communicated during the process, he kept me up to date with regular calls and dealt with all the legal aspects of the sale. Well worth a five star rating and I would not hesitate to use Mark’s services again.”

“Having been disappointed with the offer made by the distillery for my Cask of Whisky I contacted Mark Littler. I was immediately impressed by his knowledge of the market and his enthusiastic approach. I wasn’t to be disappointed as the sale of the Cask from start to finish was impeccably handled by Mark and an excellent price was obtained, far in excess of that offered by the distillery. Mark Littler gives a very reliable and personal service that is hard to find these days and I have no hesitation in highly recommending him”

“An extremely helpful & professional service. Mark was always ready with advice on procedures, most of which were a totally new experience for me
“My whiskey cask sale was effectively [processed] and I had every confidence that matters were dealt with efficiently. Selling my cask was a completely new experience and without Mark’s help I do not think I could have managed such a satisfying outcome. If I ever have to repeat the process I would happily engage his services again”

“We recently decided to sell several casks of whisky that were left as an inheritance. Looking around online for alternatives we contacted Mark to see if a better price could be obtained than was offered by the distillery. Mark obtained a far better deal with a third party and very patiently and professionally guided us through the sales process, answering all our queries and concerns. Highly recommended.”

“From my initial contact with Mark the whole experience of selling my cask of 1989 Macallan Whisky has been a breeze. Mark was very helpful, exceedingly dedicated and totally professional at all times.
“It was an excellent service provided at a very reasonable cost. Mark obtained a fantastic six-figure sum for my cask which I am completely over the moon with.
“I would not hesitate to recommend his services to others.”

“Mark sold a cask of whisky which I had inherited and did not know what to do with. The offer I got through Mark was much higher than the distillery had offered me and the whole process was simple and best of all, profitable! He explained all of the steps I needed to take in a straightforward manner and no question was too small for him to answer. Well recommended.”

“I have just sold a large cask of Arran whisky I purchased in 1996 after finding Mark’s website and comparing his service to other brokers.
“I could not be happier with the sale price, it was substantial and approx two thousand more than the next best offer. Mark is very helpful and has excellent communication skills. The sale went very smoothly and promptly.
“I would not hesitate to use his services again and recommend him to any other sellers of high value casks.”
Jerome D. 2019. 5 Stars.
“It is our very great pleasure to endorse Mr. Mark Littler. We were joint owners of a hogshead cask of Ben Nevis Single Malt whisky which Mr. Littler sold on our behalf. As Australians with very little knowledge of the complexities of selling such a product we found Mark to be knowledgeable, approachable and thorough in his dealings with ourselves, the distillery and the buyer. His personal touch was refreshing and his honesty and integrity, impeccable. He accomplished exactly what he said he would, explaining at all times what, how and why he did it. In addition, his more than competitive fee of 10% was well justified by the excellent return he was able to achieve, in a domain that would have been totally beyond us.
“If there are any Australians looking for someone to sell assets such as this, feel free to ask Mark for our contact details and we will gladly speak with you about our experience”.

“Just completed my second sale of a whisky cask via Mark.
This time Mark had a couple of little obstacles to negotiate … Brexit and COVID-19 lockdown. Nevertheless, Mark managed my sale professionally and efficiently, keeping me well informed of progress along the way.
It has been a pleasure dealing with Mark. Sadly I have no more whisky to sell. If I did I would have no hesitation in engaging him again. Thoroughly recommended.”

“Mark was so easy to work with. I owned a cask of scotch whiskey and he handled the sale very professionally and actually got more money for it than he originally thought. He always answered my emails promptly and helped me through every step of selling it with me being in the US. I would use him again in a heartbeat.”

His range of estimates were more [than] others had offered and I’m pleased [to] say he achieved the top end of his estimate which was beyond my expectations.

After many searches, and a dialogue with Mark I asked him if he would become involved. After a short period of time he had found a buyer offering a higher value than I had expected, which I subsequently accepted. The operation was seamless, Mark was a delight to deal with. Nothing too much trouble, keeping me fully informed throughout the procedure.

“I found Mark Littler’s details on the internet while searching for a broker to sell a large cask of Arran whisky I purchased in 1996. The sale has just been finalised and I cannot thank Mark enough for his assistance. He achieved a price I could not have dreamed of just a few years ago, it was substantially more than any other offer.

A Successful Sale
In 2020, we made headlines, both nationally and internationally, when we sold a vertical of Macallan 18 Year Olds for one of our clients.
Pete Robson bought a bottle of Macallan 18 year old every year since 1992, as a birthday present for his son, Matthew. The collection consisted of 28 bottles by the time Matthew decided to sell the collection using our services.
We sold the collection to a private buyer in Asia for £44,000. Matthew planned to use the money to put down a deposit on a house.
As such, a yearly birthday present from father to son turned out to be a brilliant investment that will now help Matthew put a foot on the property ladder. We were honoured to be able to sell the collection on behalf of Matthew and Pete. You can read the BBC article detailing the story here.
