Wonderful Experience!

Investing in any new venture is always daunting, however, Charles and his team made this a wonderful experience.

Throughout the process, Charles was at hand to advise but never imposing or pushing. Nothing was too much or too small for Charles which allowed me to take time and space to make the decision.

Thank you to Charles and the team for all their help and it was truly a pleasure to work together and to start this journey of investment in this industry.

Great Professional team.

Was looking for an investment to park some funds. EW&W was one of the top three but in the end, because of Charles's professional approach, got the win.

He does give necessary facts and figures as and when you do have a question/query in your mind. The best bit I like is NO rushing whatsoever. You invest money to relax and that is what you get while investing with Elite Wine and Whisky.

I have started my journey and it's going to be long but pleasant, I am sure.

Really helpful

Really helpful, I was set up with a 8 year strategy almost a year ago but they managed to get me a good profit on short notice and outside of strategy

Many thanks. 👍

Great customer service

I approached Elite Wine and Whisky after researching investments in barrels of whisky and was impressed with the potential returns. Charles rang me and he patiently explained the ins and outs of what it means to invest in a barrel and went through different options to suit my budget. I was left to do more research and have a think about the level of commitment I wanted to make and Charles helped me find a barrel that fitted my needs. There was no pushy sales, just an offer of guidance. I am impressed with the company and appreciate their expertise in this field.

My first whisky investment but not my last

I'd like to thank Oliver, Sophie and the team. My investment was going to be long term but I had to sell and will come back once the war is over. The advice was excellent I've made over 15% return on a 7 month investment.
The time from sale request to cash in my account was less than 24 hrs.
I would advise everyone tocall for a chat if they are thinking of investing. The advice is realistic and the service is Consultative rather than a sales pitch. Well done its an excellent service

Whisky

Been thinking about whisky investment for a while. Charles provided lots of information and most importantly was not pushy giving us the time to make our decision.He is always friendly and professional and always available if we need advice. We feel confident in our decision to purchase a cask from Elite Wine and Whisky.

First time investor

I recently left the military after 22 years service and wanted to make some investments with my pension pay out. I performed some research and became interested in some of the potential returns that whisky can offer, I also came accross Elite Wine and Whisky through my research and was contacted by Charles. As a first time investor and a non whisky drinker I explained to Charles that despite the potential returns, I felt apprehensive about investing in something I was unfamiliar with. Charles put me at ease with the process and investment opportunities and I eventually invested in a hogshead barrel from the Tullibardine brewery. I was very happy with the service from Charles and now look forward to seeing how the investment grows and potentially investing further in the future.

Great service from Charles

Having read about whisky investment I wanted to dip my toes in the water and invest some money I had in premium bonds. I did some research and Elite wine and whisky looked a good place to start. I felt very fortunate that Charles answered my initial e mail and arranged a call later they week. He duly called on our arranged day and time and went through the entire process with me, he gave me 3 options in monetary terms and after some thought I chose option 2, a younger distillery that is looking good and my longer term investment will be a good choice for the cask I chose, Charles organised all the relevant paperwork and it could not have been easier, I’m now the proud owner of a cask that I’ll keep for 10,15 years and then probably sell, I’m very grateful to Charles who made the whole process a pleasure with no hard sell, I’m looking forward to going to one of there tasting events when permissible. Thank you Charles 🥃🥃

Charles from Elite Wine and Whiskey

My portfolio manager Charles has been incredibly helpful and insightful throughout the entire process. I have just made my first sale from the market. A profitable, seamless experience and a great partnership.

Fantastic Service throughout

After initially contacting Elite about purchasing a cask Charles took me on board and led me professionally through every step of the way. He showed great patience with my many in depth questions and slight doubts about alternatives and carefully eliminated all of my worries. He gave me a good idea of what whisky casks would be good for my budget. Nothing seemed too much or too little ask of him. Eventually I chose a cask which i was totally happy with and i look forward to seeing my investment grow. I would recommend Charles and the rest of the team at elite to any friends, family or colleagues who are thinking of giving whisky a go.

Thank you Charles and everyone from the Elite team.

Dangerous Wine

Great at selling the product but absolutely abysmal when you want to sell. Valuations given are high but bear no resemblance to price given when you want to sell and that is if you can even obtain a selling price. Promised return calls are not made and excuses common place. Deal with at your peril.

We had a brilliant experience with the company and Charles. He answered many questions from my husband and I over email and the telephone. Not at any point did we feel under pressure to make a decision. Our knowledge and confidence has grown, which is all down to Charles.

Excellent service and advice

Excellent service and advice, I would definitely recommend to anyone who is thinking about investing in the Whisky market.
I had been thinking about investing in Whisky for sometime but knew nothing about the process. After a search online I submitted an enquiry with Elite Wine & Whisky. I received a call the next day from Charles and agreed a more suitable date for Charles to call back to explain everything.
At no point did Charles try to pressurise me into committing to anything. During the time it took me to decide if I was going to proceed and with which Whisky, Charles was always on hand to answer any questions or queries I had.
The service and advice I received from Charles was excellent from start to finish and is a credit to Elite Wine & Whisky.
