Limited integrity

I have to question the integrity of this organisation -due to the fact that I was looking to sell one of my crates of 12 bottles and following inspection the bottles within the crate were water damaged even though the crate wasn't and that 10 of the bottles had retail barcodes within them - I also have to concur with other reviews in terms of the intensely pushy sales people

Good and helpful people

I started to invest in whiskey this year and so far I had a good experience with UKV. They were very nice and not pushy into buying before easing me into this and helping with all my questions.
They were nice enough to actually send me a bottle of the cask I bought, to truly understand what I got.
When there was a problem with customs in geeting a bottle the UKV team was very fast in solving it. I would like to thank 2 guys who guided me, Josh and Aaron. Thanks to them I have a positive feeling that this investment will work out great!

Josh invited me to a wine and whisky…

Josh invited me to a wine and whisky pairing dinner that was nothing short of spectacular. The event alone would have been enough for me to invest, but the performance of my Glen Moray cask has been the highlight - sold it recently for a 72% return after 6.5 years. Classy company, elite team, and a truly enjoyable process. Thanks again, Josh

Investing in whisky through UKV has been both enjoyable and effective. The team provides excellent updates, the events are well-run, and there's always a sense that your investment is being actively looked after. I've realised solid growth on one of my holdings, and the process couldn't have been smoother.

What I appreciate most about UKV is…

What I appreciate most about UKV is that they let the results do the talking. I’ve enjoyed multiple touchpoints with them — from elegant tastings to well-prepared updates. One of my casks has now been sold and the outcome was quietly rewarding. This is a long-term relationship I plan to maintain

Have been working with UKV on a number of investment projects for several years now. Their industry knowledge is supreme, and I have a genuine, trustworthy relationship with several of their brokers (despite having been burnt by other firms!)

Looking forward to what’s to come.

As a newcomer to investing in whisky

As a newcomer to investing in whisky, I was a bit dubious at first, but Elliott who I was dealing with, was very patient and explained the process well.
I have invested in a cask, but not quite sure what to expect as yet. Time will tell. The only reason I have given four stars is that I was promised on two separate occasions a welcome gift which never materialised. Whilst I did not invest because of a freebie, if you offer something, then make sure you do what you say. Best say nothing if you don't mean it.

A really good afternoon out at Pitch in Soho which gave me a chance to meet other investors as well as the brokers. Great food and company and a really informative afternoon. Also had a chance to sample some of the wines that UKV has sold me in the past. (Always good to know and taste what I’ve actually invested in!)

Events like this are the perfect way to raise questions and gain further knowledge about the wine and whisky markets, and also to learn about the latest innovations that UKV are bringing to the market.

Its days like these that help to restore confidence and provide the type of reassurance that investors are seeking!

A great afternoon.

After several invites to previous events i was fortunate to be able to attend, at the Pitch Soho.
A very informative and laid back afternoon with great wines and whiskeys.
I have had a good relationship with my broker Zach ,unfortunately only over the phone, so at last it was a pleasure to talk face to face.
To be able to talk freely with other investors and brokers was very reassuring. Very pleased with my returns so far.

Great event, genuine people, strong returns.

UKV recently invited me to an outstanding event in Mayfair which brought me together with likeminded investors.
Not only was it fun but it gave us a chance to discuss together what we like about the firm and the returns we have all gained. It also gave us the chance to discuss our reservations and debate them in an open forum.
Honestly - that took guts and proved that what these chaps are selling is a genuine return, indexed to assets in a warehouse we can all visit.
My broker is a salesman - there’s no doubt about that, but he believes in what he’s selling and so do I.

Great venue in the heart of Soho

Great venue in the heart of Soho, good size for the numbers of the people who attended. UKV staff very friendly and some of the relaxed presentations were filled with good information. Excellent wine and whiskey refreshment all afternoon. One minor negative, could do with a tad more food, but its a minor. Yep I had a good time.
