Not new to investing but investing in whisky was a totally different ball game with different terminology. However Ben was always on hand to answer any questions and guide me on the right path and Ben certainly didn't give me the hard sell. Even though I am tea total I am now an investor in whisky and wouldn't go anywhere else than VCL Vintners if I make further purchases in the future.
As first time investors of this kind we were thoroughly impressed by the knowledge and professionalism of Lawrence who spent a great deal of time and effort in explaing the minutiae of the investment.
We have now invested and are very glad to have done so.
We couldn't recommend VCL vintners highly enough, especially Lawrence, who we hope to invest with further, in the future.
Recently bought barrels with VCL through Max Carpenter. Good service and provided options and useful insight in to which types, etc to purchase based on my investment amount.
I invested several years ago and recently received an email from VCL about selling my whisky.
Two phone calls were arranged - VCL weren't available at the arranged times.
Two emails have been sent to VCL and they've been ignored.
Two phone calls have been made to VCL. They assured me that someone would be in touch very soon.
No-one has been in touch.
I spoke with Shane who was very informative and not pushy at all. He sent me a wealth of information for me to look over and we arranged a callback at a time to suit me. I like the idea of this type of investment and feel like i can trust VCL Vintners so will be investing with them.
This is an interesting style of investing but I feel it may be a great way to diversify my portfolio. I had a good call with Ben, he was very informative and has provided me with good material to study.
Thank you.
In the world of investment it is rare to have full trust in those entrusted with your money. I am an experienced investor across a range of asset classes and can honestly say I worry less about my investments lodged with VCL than any of the others. It is so nice to speak to the senior people in an organisation and they never over-promise and have delivered all transactions to my total satisfaction.
