How it works
Three steps, plainly explained
Maturation
The whisky ages under customs supervision; storage and insurance are arranged.
Exit
Sell to a bottler, a collector or at auction — or bottle it yourself at the age you choose.
What you actually own
A physical cask of whisky, identified by number, held in a bonded warehouse in your name.
Provided by a specialised partner, with whom the contract is concluded directly. AvantGarde introduces you and accompanies you; it does not hold client funds.
Why no return figures here
Partner projections are estimates, not promises. You receive them with all costs and risks, in writing, after the partner has assessed your situation — never as a headline.
Risks you should know
Read this before the opportunity
Prices depend on the distillery’s reputation and collector demand, and can fall.
Storage, insurance and regauging costs accrue every year.
Evaporation — the “angels’ share” — reduces volume over time.
There is no public price: title and warehouse must be verified.
It may fit if…
- ✓You like tangible assets and can wait five years or more
- ✓You enjoy the product itself
It is not for you if…
- ✕You need liquidity or regular income
- ✕You expect a quoted market price
