Auction Your Cask
Selling cask whisky hasn’t always been a straightforward transaction which is why we decided to do things differently. Our auction site, Auction Your Cask, allows private cask owners, independent bottlers, and larger drinks companies from around the world to view and purchase your cask quickly and easily.

However, whether you are looking to sell your own cask or purchase someone else’s, Auction Your Cask is for everyone. You can register for the next auction by following the link provided.
