Does the job but awful user experience and support
Platform as an investment tool does the job, hence the 2 stars.
The platform itself is very old school and not user friendly. Customer support is slow and not very useful. I have been trying to make some important changes in my account for more than a month now and they stopped responding after a while.

Antwoord van WhiskyInvestDirect
Dear A. Nikolov
We appreciate your feedback on the platform's usability.
When dealing with account changes, we must follow specific processes that comply with the Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti Money Laundering Regulations. Depending on the client's specific circumstances, these can be complicated and time consuming.
It is vital that we follow exacting procedures to protect the safety of our clients and their investments whilst also adhering to our legal obligations.
We are sorry that you feel that we had stopped responding to you, we were simply waiting for the compliance team to complete the due diligence on your account.
We will update you as soon as this process has been completed, but we expect this to be completed in the next few days.
If you require further help or any clarification or requirements, please contact us via the channels listed below.
Kind regards,
The WhiskyInvestDirect Team

Fine for long time investements
Really, it has been a very good experience. In fact, I´m not an expert on whisky but I reckon whiskyinvestdirect is a fine way to get good earnings in the long way with the revaloration of the whisky liters

Not for small investments
This platform is definitely not for small investments but a good opportunity for investing med to high budget in whisky. Minimum withdrawal amount is £60 and for less you should contact customer support. Late validation penalty fee is £20 although is refundable when validated. Cost of storage of £0.208 per LPA per annum. Quite good for the market but a bit hard for low budget newbies. Bulk Trade Bids and pre-ordering are available when your lines are elected for a bulk trade bid. Scarse available whisky for trading so better make a good research. Not all pages are mobile friendly but quite good on desktop. Costs and transactions are transparent but you should read the docs.

Dear Carlos Uribe
Regarding your previous points:
There is no minimum withdrawal, but automated withdrawals require a minimum of £60. If you need to withdraw less than £60, please contact our team directly to arrange the withdrawal.
Late validation: Our website clearly states that validation is required within two weeks of funding your account. We require validation for two reasons: legal and practical.
Legally, WhiskyInvestDirect must establish the identity of its customers. Practically, both WhiskyInvestDirect and you are safer when we agree on the repayment destination of your funds in advance. This is important for when you eventually sell your whisky and withdraw your money.
In order to encourage clients to complete the validation process, we may charge a late validation fee. However, we will typically refund this fee upon validation.
www.whiskyinvestdirect.com/help/verify-identity.html
Custody Fees:
Your monthly storage fees cover the cost of storing and insuring your maturing whisky. We've seen an increase in storage costs charged by our warehouse partners due to the high demand for warehousing space. As a result, we've decided to increase our custody fees to align with these costs.
The cost per LPA per annum is £0.208, which monthly equates to £0.0173 per LPA and is subject to a minimum storage charge of £3.00 per month when your total holdings are below 173 LPA. Whisky can be easily purchased through the order board, where there is ample stock. We believe our fees for storage and custody remain excellent value. As always, we intend to be fully transparent, and we have provided some analysis on how this may affect your investment going forward.
www.whiskyinvestdirect.com/about-whisky/whisky-investment-previous-years
BTB's and pre-orders:
In 2023 our clients accepted 128 Bulk Trade Bids from the Scotch whisky Industry accounting for 2.9m LPA (Litres of Prue Alcohol)
www.whiskyinvestdirect.com/about-whisky/bulk-trade-bids
If you haven't received any information on bulk trade bids, it could be due to the email being filtered to your junk mail folder, you not being subscribed to emails, or your lines not being elected for a bulk trade bid yet.
Regarding pre-orders, there have been multiple pre-orders over the last 6 months and in 2023 alone 1.96m LPA were launched onto the platform . . If you haven't received any notification about them, it is for the same reasons mentioned above.
However, if you miss a pre-order, you can still trade on the live order board, available through the link below. You will see that there is an abundance of availability. Please be aware that when you see lines displayed under the "sold out stock line" on the order board, it simply means that we 'WID' have sold out all of our holdings, and any whisky you buy will be from clients who are trading their own stock. However, this does not necessarily mean that there is no stock available for purchase.

Too many investors for too little whisky
In contrast to about three or four years ago it is now not possible anymore to make significant investments, and with „significant“ I don‘t mean 5k or more. In any pre-order investment of the last two years I wasn‘t allocated more than 50LPA, which is ridiculous. There are just too many investors for too little whisky. WID should think about a solution to this problem.

Dear Bodo D,
We share and feel your frustration. We are well aware that we could sell 10x the quantity of new make spirit via our pre-orders than we are currently able to offer. We also understand that because of the returns seen by our users that it is disappointing when they cannot purchase all that they would like to, particularly to replenish their spirit sold back to the industry via bulk trade bids.
This two-way trading proves the value of our platform by enabling users to sell and profit from their maturing whisky and demonstrates to the Scotch industry that we are an excellent and reliable source of wholesale-priced maturing spirit.
We have covered in recent whisky news articles (https://www.whiskyinvestdirect.com/whisky-news/latest-whisky-news) that the wholesale Scotch whisky market has tightened, and distillers are unable to quickly increase their production to meet potential future demand. This means that although we have purchased approximately 1.5m LPA this year, we are unlikely to be able to source additional new fillings as quickly as we would like. However, whilst pre-order allocations are lower than we would like, we can see a rise in clients trading on the live order board, meaning that the opportunities to purchase more spirit have improved.
As you would expect, we are doing all that we can to secure additional maturing whisky for this year whilst working with distillers to increase our supply for subsequent years.
We would advise all users to update their communication preferences and opt-in to receive notifications of new stock lines, offers & news via email, as this is the best way to learn of the availability of new whiskies on the platform.

Excellent website, great resources
I have extensive investment experience in buy to let, shares and whisky invest direct. The whisky has been the most fun and most profitable. Its sometimes hard to find whisky to buy but so what persevere and spread your money around. I recently got the chance to buy a limited addition bottle offered to investors. I did and i drank the lot, it was lovely. Its not covered by FSA rules like cash at the bank but ive invested for years and am happy so far.

The only platform to consider for investing in Scottish whisky
I have invested in whisky using this platform now for over a year and in my experience it beats hands down any of its competitors in this market. Anyone expecting the same level of price transparency and liquidity as more mainstream financial products is going to be sorely disappointed but whiskyinvestdirect is the best in this segment that's on offer by a country mile. Highly recommended for anyone who understands the unique characteristics of Scottish Whisky and wishes to invest in the process.

Todo iba bien hasta hacer el reembolso de mi dinero
Al reembolsar el dinero me han pedido un montón de documentación para poder cambiar mi numero de cuenta ya que lo quería hacer por wise, visto que era super complicado y que lo que me pedían no podía dárselo ya que querían información que no puedo sacar de la aplicación, hable con mi banco habitual para que convirtieran las libras a euros, ellos me lo aceptaron y seguidamente se lo hice saber a Whiskyinvestdirect y ellos me volvieron a solicitar un montón de documentos en los que volví a dárselo uno por uno. una vez complete los requisitos con selfies y demás me vuelven a solicitar información adicional y se esta demorando un mes, además cada vez que revisan la info nueva tardan como 3-4 días.
Es absolutamente lamentable que tenga bloqueado mi dinero me cobren comisiones de custodia y que me sigan pidiendo informaciones extras.
no recomiendo esta plataforma para nada.

Dear Gonzalo,
Thank you for taking the time to review our service.
The bank account that you have linked to our platform does not accept GBP payments. When you first intended to link this bank account we contacted you warning of the issue when it comes to withdrawals there may be complications and you may need to change your linked bank account; the process you are going through currently and that we are now in the final stages of completing for you.
The change in linked bank account procedure is something that WhiskyInvestDirect takes very seriously in order to abide to strict UK Anti-Money Laundering laws.
We endeavour to make these procedures as easy as possible for customers, by creating easy to follow help instructions as sent to you previously; however, there are no shortcuts to these checks. These checks are not only to follow regulations but also to ensure the safety of your money.
Please also note you are not charged custody fees when a cash balance is available on your account and no whisky is owned.
If you have any questions, please contact us via the channels listed below.

Maybe a good trading platform but tools from the last century
The process of creating an account and transferring money feels like processing in the 1980s. You have to upload documents, they claim they don’t have the right screenshots, etc. Transfer of money from outside the UK is really painful as well.
The idea is great in general but the tools they have in place is just painful and very time consuming. It’s much easier to file your annual tax declaration in Germany…

A fun, and profitable, investment
I invested back in 2016 as a bit of fun and it has been one of my best performing investments over the years. It's easy and quick to withdraw funds and to sell on the live boards if you can't wait for a bulk bid to come in. All the bulk bids have been above the valuation which comes as a nice surprise.
It's obviously a shame that there isn't more whisky to invest in now, but I don't think that industry dynamics can be pinned on Whiskyinvestdirect.
All in all, very impressed.

They've run out of whisky.
They've run out of whisky. Used to be great, I'd invested a lot of money with them. Now they just simply don't have the stock to warrant bothering with it. Last couple of times I pre ordered stock, the most I was allowed to purchase amounted to no more than a couple hundred pounds.
