Whisky investment
First time that I have invested in this way, having bought previous casks directly through the distillery, & so far the experience has been very positive with very reasonably priced casks. Looking forward to the continuing journey with Vinny & the team.

Just joined the clan
Just joined the clan, Vinny was a pleasure to deal with an answered any questions I asked, I will definitely be buying again in the future, The process was very simple and Vinny explained everything in detail.
Set my mind at rest
Took my time to assess all the information I was given by Vinny,I kept contacting Vinny when something else popped into my head ,he reassured me and answered my query . He put my mind at rest as per usual ,becuase it can be mind boggling . Streamlined my journey into cask ownership , recommend HWC fully even had a bit of contact with Mike the owner and the professor all down to earth and very helpful .Looking forward to my next part of the journey with them.
Recently joined the clan
Recently joined the clan, it was a very pleasurable experience, no pressure to buy and gave me time to research and make an informed decision.
Fantastic experience
Helpful and friendly staff. Was very ope and transparent on any questions I had & answered without any B/S. Looking forward to do more business with them soon 👍👍
One sip for whiskey
From my first steps into the realm of whiskey investment, I was overflowing with information from many different sources.
Trying to find the right path was quite difficult to make sure this was the right choice for myself.
I had many calls from different people trying to win my trust and money. Then I had a call from Vinny and was presently surprised but his claims. So off onto more research I go.
A week later I felt I had made the right choice and bite the bullet and gave Highland Whiskey Clan the prize.
It's my first step and I took the leap and hope nothing but the best for myself and the company in the future.
Highland Whisky Clan
I'm new to this type of investment and have to say at first very sceptical. It didn't help being bombarded with emails and messages from. Numerous whisky traders and investment platforms.
I decided to ask HWClan to give me a call where I was pleasantly surprised by the non pushy conversation. Vinny has been completely up front and honest and most helpful. I have an existing interest in whisky, drinking it! But also collecting a few bottles. I am now investing for a trust fund, so not my own money. So I'm hoping the return on investment is going to be good.
I am also now thinking of doing my own purchase so that I don't regret it later! It's also a nice way to avoid capital gains tax.
That alone makes it worthwhile.
I certainly won't be looking to anyone else after the initial experience I've had with Vinny.
First time investing
Always been sceptical of this kind of investment, but gave it a go and very happy with the assistance and advice I was given before my first purchase.
I will definately do it again.

I’ve made my first whisky investment and the experience has been excellent from start. The team (Vinny) has been great to work with, and I had an honest, informative conversation with Vinny Paul before moving forward. He explained everything clearly and made the whole process easy to understand.
The communication so far has been amazing, and the onboarding experience was smooth and reassuring. I’m looking forward to building this relationship further and exploring more investment opportunities in the future.

I now am a senior partner with Michael Ward at Highland Whisky Clan and Marrowbone Lane Irish Whiskey. It all began when I invested initially in casks, with them. As a long term connoisseur of whisky/ey, I invested through other cask agents too, but Michael Ward and his brother in law Vinny Paul stood out way ahead, actually miles ahead, against the competition. They were extremely educative, knowledgeable, honest, truthful, and respectful. Never did they push or try to be in any rush.
Such a pleasure now to be associated with both the companies as a senior partner, part of the “clan”, taking our business global!
First whisky investment
Nice team to work with and a good honest and informative chat with Vinny before I progressed to investing. Can’t fault the communication so far and look forward to building this relationship.

Recent customer and so far have found them to do " exactly what it says on the tin". Did so on the recommendation of an existing customer.
Toataly new to this experience
Saw a post on Facebook and sent a message out to highland whiskey. And I got chatting with Vinny he explained what they do in great depth and answered any questions I had and even sent me a sample of whiskey.
I later went ahead and bought 2 casks from them, Vinny is great to deal with so all good so far and would definitely recommend.. just hope my investment has a good return on it in years to come

Had great onboarding experience with my first whisky investment.
Vinny Paul explained everything and had a good conversation regarding the entire process.
looking forward for more investment in future
Great Service
I have always been sceptical on investments from advertisements, however so far all I can say is I'm hopeful due to the amazing work by Vinny. Vinny works as part of Highland Whisky and Marrowbone Lane. The friendly attitude and knowledge brought by him is top notch.
Due to my skeptical nature I've bought two barrels but Vinny has done his best to ease my concerns. I'm in for 5yrs on 1 barrel so I will be able to update my post in 5yr once the return comes through and then hopefully I can eliviate some of the concerns that people might have looking in.
An excellent whisky and whiskey cask provider
I first invested with Highland Whisky Clan with a single cask purchase to ‘test the waters’, as I tend to do with all my new supplier involvements.
I now hold ownership of six casks through HWC, three Scotch and three Irish (soon to be four).
I am extremely satisfied with the service provided by Highland Whisky Clan, especially with the friendly and knowledgeable contacts with both Mike Ward and Vinny Paul. Both gentlemen have a ‘no flannel’ approach to business and their cask pricing is extremely reasonable and very competitive.
I have recently introduced a member of my family to the cask investment opportunities offered by this company.
I have confidence in recommending Highland Whisky Clan to any prospective investor/purchaser.
Can’t recommend this company enough
Can’t recommend this company enough. Great communication with vinny who is very knowledgeable and gained my total trust in buying online. Vinny took the time to speak to me discussing previous purchases I had had with another whisky companies and was very honest with me…sorted me a good price and made me very comfortable excited and interested in the whole whisky buying experience with “ HIGHLAND WHISKY CLAN” also has kept in touch, unlike other companies.
