Casks Under Management

Not just a brokerage. The whole ecosystem.

Most whisky cask companies do one thing - source a cask and sell it on. They don't bottle. They don't run auctions. They don't have the network or the trade infrastructure to help you exit.

Platinum Cask operates under Fah Mai Holdings Limited - a group that trades, stores, audits, auctions, bottles, imports, and distributes whisky. When you want to sell your cask, that same infrastructure is what makes structured exit routes possible.

Typical Brokerage

One service: source a cask, sell it on

  • Cask often sourced from another intermediary
  • Limited pricing transparency
  • No bottling, auction, or distribution capability
  • Limited or no exit infrastructure
  • Opaque fee structures
  • You're on your own at exit time
The Fah Mai Ecosystem

Bulk buying power. Transparent pricing. Structured exit routes.

  • Bulk purchasing across the group
  • Pricing disclosed upfront, no hidden markups
  • Independent bottler + Whisky Bull Auctions
  • 100K+ buyer network + importer + distributor
  • Every fee disclosed upfront
  • UK-licensed and HMRC-bonded operator

Built on Real Infrastructure

Warehouse account in your own name

Important Information

Risk Warning: Whisky cask investments are unregulated in the UK. The value of investments is variable and can go down as well as up. Past performance is not indicative of future results and does not give a guide for the future. You should not invest more than you can afford to lose. Please seek independent financial advice before making an investment decision.

Fees: An annual fee of £50 per cask is charged for storage at an HMRC-bonded warehouse (minimum 3-year hold). Exit fees vary by route - see full terms. If bottling, UK Duty and VAT are payable. The volume of spirit will decrease over time due to evaporation ("Angel's Share"). New Make spirit must be matured for a minimum of 3 years, during which time its alcoholic strength could reduce; the product must retain a minimum strength of 40% ABV to be classed as "whisky."

Cancellation: You have the right to cancel your purchase. Please refer to full terms and conditions for details of the cancellation process and any costs involved.

Realising Your Investment: Exit options include buy-back by Fah Mai Holdings, sale at auction via Whisky Bull Auctions, sale to a bottler or blender, or private sale. Each route has associated fees and conditions. Fah Mai Holdings can facilitate sales but cannot guarantee a buyer or a specific price. Full details are provided in the cask purchase agreement.
