The whisky industry and the pivotal role investors fulfill
Cash Flow
At Spirit Vault, every distillery, whether long-established or fresh on the scene, requires capital to thrive. Whisky, however, demands patience, maturing for a minimum of three years before earning its name. Yet, achieving optimal flavor and hue often requires several additional years. During this critical period, distilleries often sell new make to sustain operations. Here lies the pivotal role of investors. By supporting these distilleries, investors not only contribute to their growth but also become part of their journey towards excellence.
Increased Distribution
At Spirit Vault, independent bottling companies purchase whisky from distilleries in bulk, blend it, bottle it, and develop new brands. These bottlers prioritize quality, crafting extensive product ranges built on stringent standards. Many have longstanding partnerships with distilleries spanning decades, often engaging in trading alongside their core operations. Following distilleries, these companies are one of our primary sources for whisky.
Brand Growth
At Spirit Vault, partnering with investors and independent bottlers enables distilleries to diversify and extend their brand influence. Through collaborations in sales, auctions, and bottling partnerships, brands can increase their market value, enhancing the portfolios of our clients.
