Excellent company to deal with for our first investment in whisky. The customer service from our account manager Mark has been nothing but seemless and enjoyable from the beginning he introduced himself after my initial inquiries to them on investment. It is a pleasure working with Vintage Acquisitions and the start of a long relationship with our investment. I would recommend this company to anybody wishing to start a portfolio in whisky investment.

As a first time buyer of whiskey casks, I was unsure how the whole process worked. Ryan explained everything I needed to know and took all the information I had given him to give me some really helpful recommendations, and made the whole process easy. Definitely reccomend!

Great people to trust and work with

I've been struggling on ways on how to retire in the future and was interested in the whisky market. After a couple of days speaking to Ryan, I felt like he totally understand my position in life and what I wanted, which then made me feel comfortable in giving them my money. I bought 4 barrels off them in a couple of months. I probably ask different type of questions every week to him and get detailed solid straight to the point replies, as well as being educated.

What I love about them is that, they all put their money where their mouth is as well. They have their own portfolios and it's not a case of just trying to use other people money.

I highly recommend the company, even having a chat if you're unsure. They put my nerves to rest and back it up with detail and proof. Of course it's impossible to determine how your investment is going to go, but they still show you indications of how it could go.

Every investment is a risk and as long you understand that, you will feel comfortable with these guys. They're not going to promise a guaranteed investment like I've seen on other companies (which is very irresponsible) but they will educate you enough for you to make an inform decision.

Honesty, legitimacy and high professionalism.

Communicating with Mr. Long was a great pleasure. He guided me all through the way to buy a cask which will have a good return in the future. Showed me how V.A. works regarding this investment.Sent all cerificates and receipts in no time. No hiccups at all. After seeking some investments, V.A. is the one that suits my needs.

Robert and I had been speaking over several months. Very keen to share his knowledge, answer questions and provided realistic expectations, which for a first time cask investor was invaluable. He explained the process at every stage well. Couldn’t have asked for more.

Whisky Galore

Friendly and helpful over the phone. Lots of information - almost too much. The relationship between OLA and ABV could be clarified in written form. More clarification on CASK# vs CASK Type is required
Once agreement on the product was reached and the go ahead given there was no communication until I received an e-mail asking me when i was going to settle my account!!
I think that prospective clients should be told about Identity Checker - especially if they reside overseas.

Great company to work with

Great company to work with. Guided me through every stage of the process reliably and with great patience. Doing business from another continent and a far removed time zone obviously complicated the process, but things went smoothly throughout. Would be very happy to work with them again.

Fantastic day filling my daughter's first cask

My daughter and I had a fantastic day hosted by VA at the Annandale Distillery, where my daughter filled her first investment cask. The hospitality from both VA and the Annandale team was exceptional with a distillery tour, tastings, all-day food and entertainment. Sometimes whisky investing can seem like a remote financial transaction, but this really brought the experience to life and made us feel part of the VA family. Thank you Olivia for arranging this!

Lauren was very easy to deal with and clearly knows her whiskey. She answered all my questions and made me feel very comfortable investing. The administrative process was also swift and smooth so overall a 5* experience.
