When Martin Malloy form Nottingham retired from the fire service three years ago and took a lump sum of money from his pension, he wanted to invest in something a bit different. Molly, 54, who lives with his wife, Michelle, 53, and their children, Mackenzie, 20, and Jack, 15, he always held a diverse set of investments, including stocks and shares and buy-to-let property.
“I researched investing in whisky after the idea was mentioned by a friend on a walk one day. It piqued my interest from the beginning- and im not a whisky drinker myself”, he said. Molloy came across the Scotch whisky investment company Whisky 1901 and invested £23,000 in three casks over a period of 6 months.
Flight attendant flying high with whisky investment. After her father passed away, Jemma Selves invested almost £6,000 of her inheritance in a whisky cask. She purchased a barrel of Glen Moray single malt Scotch whisky from the Speyside region via Whisky 1901.

A former military vet and restauranteur turned HGV driver, Allan has a long-standing family connection to Scotch whisky – his own grandfather was head of security for the prestigious Black & White distillery.
