As a new investor to Fine and Rare Whisky, I felt reassured, even if I am not the easiest of clients, Henry had patience and has great energy vibes. He is there and can answer many questions as well as showing passion and integrity. He makes you feel reassured and is trustworthy. It is early months but I feel reassured things are in good hands.
Looking forwards to visiting the shop too, in the near future. This is an excellent thing, as you get to really get into things.

I’ve been dealing with Tomoka Fine and Rare for just over a year now, and it’s been a really enjoyable journey. I first met the team at their flagship store in the Royal Exchange, and from the outset I was impressed by how knowledgeable, welcoming, and professional they were. The level of service has been consistently excellent, and it’s clear they genuinely care about their clients and what they do.

Have been with Tomoka for over 3 years now and recently sold my first cask at a reasonable profit. Found them to be nothing but professional, courteous and transparent from the get go. Couldn’t recommend them enough.
Caution
Warning – proceed with caution
In my personal experience, I would advise extreme caution when dealing with this company.
I have raised questions and concerns publicly regarding my investment and the documentation provided, however my comments were removed and I was blocked from further interaction on their social media channels.
I have also experienced significant difficulties obtaining clear answers, transparency regarding ownership of stock, and timely resolution of outstanding matters.
Based on my experience, I strongly recommend that potential clients carry out thorough independent due diligence, carefully review all documentation, and fully understand the risks involved before engaging in any business with this company.
This review reflects my personal experience and opinion.

Reply from Tomoka Fine & Rare
Fantastic service from the Tomoka team
Fantastic service from the Tomoka team. They assisted me with setting up my own account at a HMRC bonded warehouse and have provided me with the Deliver Order in my name. Have organised a trip up to Scotland to view my cask too. Couldn’t be happier with the service.
This is a scam.
This is a scam.
Like others have written already, they are the same people behind Oeno Future and Oeno Group, which were also a scam.
Anyone can verify the information by looking at the Companies House website and searching for "oenofuture" and "tomoka casks limited" and "tomoka fine and rare limited".
A Google search for "oenogroup" or "oenofuture" will show the former being a scam, always based on fine wine (fake) purchases.
Historical issues with CEO means I won't invest.
Having done due diligence prior to engaging to make a potential investment I was a little concerned to discover the CEO has ties and associations with many other now defunct investment companies. It appears from Companies House, the current Tomoka CEO is heavily involved with another CEO both of whom have a trail of failed investment enterprises goingbankruptand owing investors. The last is OENO house also housed in The Royal Exchange that is now in administration taking investors assets and money with it
A Fantastic First Whisky Cask Experience
As a new client investing in my first whisky cask, I could not be happier with my experience at Tomoka. Robert Ballard was knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely supportive throughout the entire process.
There was absolutely no pressure or hard sell — just clear guidance and honest advice. I am delighted with my first purchase and already looking forward to building my portfolio with them.
I would highly recommend Tomoka to anyone considering whisky cask investment.
I’m new to whiskey cask ownership.
I’m new to whiskey cask ownership and Matthew and and Henry went into great detail of all the information for me! Tomoka fine and rare are the most professional and friendly company I’ve ever delt with. No push on any sales just guidance with a wealth of knowledge.
Great experience with really good guys…
Great experience with really good guys who know their business inside out. After discussions they put the right deal for me on the table. Thank you Antony.
Long Term Investment is Ideal
Tomoko Fine and Rare whiskey casks are a good investment as long as you are aware that you need to retain your cask for at least five years despite what some big the sales reps tell you.
Mine was sold after 2.5 years so the profit was less than I had hope for. Still they are a good solid company to invest with.

Amazing experience no hidden agendas
Amazing experience no hidden agendas or pushy sales tactics it’s a breeze as smooth as the whisky they sell. I dealt with Henry Great guy honest straight talking what you want when spending money on casks built great relationship I’d consider him a friend now real great company can’t wait to continue dealing with them
First cask success
I am representing a group of friends in Norway wanting to get into the world of cask ownership. Being new to this and naturally concerned with the stories of scams, I did quote a bit of research before choosing to partner with Tomoka. With the excellent help and guidance from Matthew Saunders and Henry Love, we recently purchased a cask of Glen Garioch. We were trying to get a sample bottle over to our local Christmas party, but the cask was still in transport. Matthew and Henry went the extra mile and had a bottle of Glen Garioch delivered at my door in Norway, to my friends' great surprise. We spent the better part of the evening smoking cigars, tasting great whiskey and planning our first trip to the V&C warehouse in Edinburgh.
