Cask Ownership at Benbecula

How We Promote Transparency in Our Process

1. Our Whisky Production

As a fully operational distillery producing 150,000L of spirit per annum, we sell casks directly to customers. This means complete transparency, full control over your purchase, and a direct relationship with the people who craft your whisky.

2. Accreditation & Accountability

The Scotch whisky industry is regulated by HMRC, and we are HMRC accredited, undergo regular audits of cask stocks, and adhere to the Scotch Whisky Association’s standards. We employ industry professionals to uphold best practices, ensuring our processes are transparent and secure. Every cask is documented, recorded, and carefully tracked to provide full transparency to our customers. Each purchase comes with written terms and conditions that clearly outline the ownership.

3. Safe & Secure Storage

We provide insured storage for up to seven years in our bonded warehouse, ensuring that every cask is properly maintained and protected. Customers receive clear documentation and can have regular updates about their whisky’s progress upon request.

4. Clarity & Open Communication

We believe transparency builds trust, that’s why we ensure that every cask owner has:

• Full ownership documentation, including a certificate of cask ownership and a signed terms and conditions contract.
• Clear pricing with no hidden fees: we outline costs upfront.
• Direct communication with our team, so customers can ask questions and stay informed.
• Updates on cask maturation, keeping owners engaged in their whisky’s journey upon request.
