Is whisky ownership the ultimate tangible asset?


In this episode of Cask to Glass, we go behind the scenes of the whisky industry with Russell Spratley and Ross Archer from Spiritfilled. From their roots in finance to launching an award-winning independent bottling brand and an HMRC-approved bond, they share what it really takes to navigate the world of casks.


We dive deep into:

•The reality of whisky as a tangible asset vs. a financial instrument.

•How the Braeside Bond is creating a new standard for transparency and "experience-led" storage.

•The revolutionary NEOC (New Era of Cask) process that is transforming how spirits are finished.

•How Scottish rugby legend Finn Russell became the face of their brand.

•The current state of the global whisky market and why "time" is the most valuable ingredient.


Whether you're a seasoned collector or just curious about owning your first cask, this conversation offers a rare, honest look at the craft and business of Scotch whisky.
