World of Whisky Group Reviews 39

We had a wonderful conversation with Pauline at Stansted Airport, who introduced us to some amazing whiskies. The selection is impressive and it's great to enjoy human to human connection with a knowledgeable expert.

Avoid.
This is a great company to buy whisky from. But not so when it comes to sell.
Despite being contracted to repurchase a cask, they haven’t. Instead, Robin and Matt have given me so many excuses that they would fill a book. I have now had to engage the services of a solicitor.

Johnathon are contact was very patient and understood are concerns about making an informed assessment of the cask investment industry and helped us every step of the way, never pushing,never pressuring just helping and providing us with all the required legal documentation.All our calls where returned in an efficient and speedy fashion. Would recommend WoW for a long term investment into the cask industry.

Investing with World of Whiskey is an interesting venture.
My consultant Jonathan has been very informative and has sourced some really sought after casks, with himself and his team putting together some lucrative deals for me. I'm excited to see where this is going. I've been well looked after and this has only just begun.
A great investment opportunity which speaks for itself.

If you are thinking of investing in whisky, this is the place to be. James was brilliant in explaining all you need to know about the world of whisky and the purchase process. Totally recommended

After some initial concerns I spoke with Robin who fully put my mind at ease, I have been a whisky collector for many years and had never taken the plunge into cask investment, I am now happy that I am now an investor and more than happy that I invested with Robin.
Straight forward talk and straight forward approach to investing nothing was hidden.
I was also afforded the opportunity to meet other investors on a day out arranged by World of Whisky which was a great experience.

So far so good, really nice team at WoW, we have had pleasure in meeting nearly all the team, which is great face to face, I'm not a whisky drinker so they have been really patient and I'm learning, I was scared as youngster with cheap whisky/whiskey, have attended the tasting evenings was nervous but so many people from different backgrounds did not feel ot of place or out of depth, looking forward to 2025 and beyond. PS Robyn knows his stuff as do the others

As my first foray into cask ownership I have to say Robin, James and the team at World of Whisky' made the whole thing extremely straightforward. They were helpful and supportive throughout the transaction, explaining the process and potential long-term profits, as well as the possible pitfalls of selling short-term. They even organised a day trip where I got the opportunity to 'visit' my casks in storage.
If you are considering whisky as an investment I would whoeheatredly recommend World of Whisky.

I have been dealing with Robin at world of Whisky for about 6 months and found the buying of a barrel clear and straight forward under no pressure.
MOVE ON TO FEB 2026
HAVE BEEN TRYING TO CONTACT WOW FOR LAST MONTH AS THEY MOVED MY CASK WITHOUT INFORMING ME AND CHARGING ME FOR THE PRIVELEDGE. ROBIN HAS LEFT WHO I HAD A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH BUT SPOKE TO JAMES TWICE, NOW HE DOESNT ANSWER HIS PHONE. I HAVE HEARD VIA TRADE CONTACT THAT THEY SELL CASKS AT VASTLY INFLATED PRICES THAT MEAN YOU WILL NOT SEE A RETURN FOR 5 YEARS.
I COULD GO ON BUT WONT EXCEPT TO SAY DO NOT BUY FROM WOW .
READ OTHER REVIEWS AS THEY ECCO MY VIEW

I decided I wanted to invest in my sons future, I st tried stocks but had a bad experience and then thought about gold, I then saw an advert about whisky casks and got in touch with world of whisky, soon afterwards I was called back by 1 of their colleagues called Brett who was extremely helpful and informative and gave me a great insight into the world of whisky and how it works so I decided 2 invest in a cask, and I'm so happy that I did, I'm looking for a long time investment so that it can mature fully and hopefully provide my son with financial security in his future, I highly recommend the World Of Whisky an in particular Brett as his customer service was impeccable and made me feel very comfortable with my decision 2 invest

Absolutely brilliant service.

James made everything extremely easy and made sure he found the perfect casks for my budget. I was talked through the whole process and at no point did I feel confused or under pressure to invest.

Would 100% recommend for anyone looking to start a whisky portfolio

Had a great experience with World of Whisky (WoW) - from getting the brochure they made contact and informed me of options - offering not just the prices of the casks but the history of the various distilleries. My contact, James, shared his knowledge and passion through our phone conversations, along with his ability to find good deals.
Enjoyed the enthusiastic conversations about the products and felt that the experience was tailored to fit with my budget and timeframe. The team were attentive and involving with the process - from information about the various casks, cost options and upcoming distillery tours, it has been a great experience so far.

I dealt with James from World of Whisky, super professional, there was no pressure into buying a cask. Gave me loads of detail regarding the cask I was interested in. So I took the leap and purchased a cask. Super helpful in every way. Would I buy again, yeh for sure. Great company, I felt really relaxed while on the phone with James.
World Of Whisky for me 5 stars.
Cheers

James made purchasing a case a much easier process with his vast experience and knowledge there was nothing he didn't know or could find out if needed about the product or the company. Looking forward to the future with world of whisky

The process is dead easy. Having been invested in whisky casks for a number of years now and investing can’t be simpler. Richard Wells is a terrific portfolio manager. He is not only knowledgeable but also keen to educate. He returns calls promptly and I have never felt poorly informed. I can heartily recommend.

An excellent service from start to finish with James. He is knowledgeable, personable and a pleasure to do business with.

Many thanks

Richard combines being attentive and informative without being overly aggressive in trying to push things too much which is a good way to work in my opinion.

James advised me patiently for about two years before I initially invested.
He has been knowledgeable, genuine, and given me so much information without pressure. He has a real personal touch where I can see he is a genuine guy who loves what he does.
I initially invested on the strength of my opinion of James, then finding out they are award winners! When I met the team, I realised there is a fantastic ethos and clearly they are like a family.
Its not as expensive to get started as you might think and fascinating to have a tangible investment you can drink and enjoy!!

My experience purchasing a cask of whisky from World of Whisky has been nothing less than exceptional.

Richard Wells, my portfolio manager, is extremely knowledgeable and consistently offers only the best casks for maximum return. His expertise and understanding of the whisky market give me complete confidence in every purchase I make.

I know a fair deal about whisky and have been investing in liquid gold for several years now, but Richard and the World of Whisky team put me to shame and always seem to find some real gems.
All the casks I have bought through Richard and World of Whisky are performing incredibly well, with an average return of 14% year on year.
Richard’s advice and careful selection of casks make me feel secure in my investments, knowing they are in good hands.

When it comes to whisky, World of Whisky know their stuff. Every single member of staff is a Whisky buff and they manage to get their hands on some unique casks you can't find anywhere else.

With such consistent results and a trusted partnership, I wouldn’t go anywhere else for whisky cask investments.
If you are looking to invest in Whisky, honestly, look no further. Pick up the phone or e-mail them and an experienced member of the team will be happy to help pick the perfect cask for you.

Fantastic customer service experience from Richard Wells, such a great approach, not imposing anything and impartial advice on best investment, lovely human being. Just Fabulous Portfolio Manager!
Thank you
