Why Choose Hackstons?

Cask ownership is more than a financial decision, it’s a generational one. And for our Co-Founder, Alphie Valentine, that belief is deeply personal. Growing up, he watched his mum work tirelessly to provide for the family, navigating a financial world that often felt stacked against her. It wasn’t until years later that he discovered whisky casks as an accessible, tangible asset, one that could have helped her get further ahead, build stability, and create a legacy with confidence.

Hackstons was founded with that idea at its heart: to make cask ownership clear, transparent, and accessible for people who want smarter, more meaningful ways to grow their wealth or leave a legacy.

Today, we’re proud to blend industry expertise with a client-first approach, offering guidance without pressure, clarity without jargon, and a journey that feels reassuring from the very first conversation.

Here’s What Sets Us Apart From The Rest…

HMRC-Bonded Warehouses

Every cask we source is stored securely in HMRC-regulated bonded warehouses; facilities that meet the strictest requirements for temperature, security, and compliance. Bonded storage ensures your whisky remains protected, properly accounted for, and maturing in full accordance with Scotch whisky regulations. It’s the gold standard for anyone serious about long-term cask ownership.

Delivery Order (Your Proof of Legal Ownership)

Transparency matters. That’s why we issue a Delivery Order, the ultimate proof of ownership that transfers your cask into your name when it arrives at the warehouse. It’s the most important piece of paperwork in cask whisky, and it confirms full legal ownership. No ambiguity, no grey areas. Just a clear, regulated, recognised record that the cask is yours.

Bespoke Insurance Policy

Your asset deserves serious protection, so we arranged exactly that.
Each Hackstons cask is covered by a bespoke insurance policy underwritten by Lloyd’s of London, including capital appreciation protection of up to £100,000. This protects your investment against theft, damage and leakage, and covers not just the value of the spirit inside the barrel, but its future growth, ensuring peace of mind throughout your investment journey.

Layer 1

Cask owners deserve clarity, not mystery.

Vapour is our digital platform that lets you track essential information about your cask, from age and location to maturation details. It even shows you exactly where your cask is maturing in the warehouse. It’s the modern way to stay informed, and a dramatic step forward for an industry that has historically relied on spreadsheets and patience. Think of Vapour as your cask counterpart to online banking: secure, real-time insight at your fingertips.

Premium Casks from Renowned Distilleries

Not all casks are created equal. We source only from trusted, reputable distilleries with strong track records of quality and demand, including some of Scotland’s most respected names. Our team assesses each cask’s provenance, maturation potential, and long-term desirability so clients can invest with confidence, not speculation.

Client Programme

The Premier Client Programme

Our clients deserve more than just a transaction. The Hackstons Premier Client Programme rewards our cask owners with tailored benefits: priority access to premium casks, exclusive events, personal account support, and curated educational experiences. As your portfolio grows, so does the level of service, insight, and access available to you.

Our Knightsbridge Retail Experience

Hackstons is more than a cask investment company, we’re a full luxury drinks brand. Our flagship Knightsbridge store showcases rare and exceptional whisky, wine, Champagne and spirits, offering clients a premium retail environment right in the heart of London.

But this isn’t just a beautiful space to explore. It’s also a potential exit pathway for cask owners: when the time comes, clients can bottle their whisky and sell it through our store or eCommerce website to support their exit strategy. Very few cask companies can offer this and it’s just another advantage of choosing Hackstons.
