Important Information Regarding Whisky as an Investment

Please read the following carefully before making any purchase. This communication is for informational purposes only and does not constitute financial or investment advice. Whisky 1901 Limited is not a regulated financial institution, and any references to “investment,” “broker,” or “advice” are intended solely for descriptive purposes of our services and should not be interpreted as financial advice.

1. Not Financial Advice or Regulated Services: Whisky 1901 Limited is not authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and does not offer financial or investment advice. Whisky 1901 Limited is an investment platform that provides guidance to its customers. Guidance is in impartial service which will help our customer identify its options and narrow down its choices but will not tell what to do or which products to buy, the decision is yours.

2. Whisky as a Tangible Asset: Whisky is sold as a physical, tangible asset, not a financial product or investment.

Any purchase decision should be made independently and based on personal research and judgment. 

3. No Guarantee of Financial Returns: The value of whisky may fluctuate based on market demand, age, rarity, and other factors. The volume of spirit will decrease over time (known as “the Angels’ share”). “New Make” spirit has to be matured for 3 years, during which time its alcoholic strength could be reduced. However, for the product to be classed as “whisky”, it must retain a minimum strength of 40%.
