Our rums range from 40% ABV (Dark Rum, Spiced Rum) to 57% ABV (Overproof White Rum). Our VE Day Gin is 42% ABV. All bottles clearly display the ABV.

Can I visit your distillery?

Yes, we offer tours of our historic underground distillery in Shropshire, but these are exclusively for individuals interested in cask ownership or investment. If you are interested in learning more about our cask investment program, please contact us to book a tour and experience our unique WWII vaults.

Do you ship internationally?

What makes your cask investment program different?

Our casks are aged in unique WWII underground vaults with perfect natural conditions. Unlike whisky, rum cask investment is still in early stages, offering greater potential returns. Each cask is filled with our award-winning spirit.

THE DISTINCT CASK OWNERSHIP PROGRAMME

WHY INVEST IN A DISTINCT CASK?

Owning a cask of aging spirit is more than an investment—it’s a chance to be part of a story. With the Distinct Cask Ownership Programme, you gain access to a rare blend of legacy, prestige, and potential returns, all while supporting British craft distilling.

Whether you choose our award-winning British Rum or our limited-release English Whisky, each cask is distilled in Shropshire and matured in historic WWII underground vaults, where stable temperature and humidity ensure optimal aging conditions.

What sets Distinct apart is not just the quality of the spirit—it’s our hands-on, expert-led support. From cask selection to bottling, we guide you every step of the way to help your investment reach its full potential.

THE BENEFITE OF CASK OWNERSHIP WITH DISTINCT DISTILLERS

Global Premium Rum Growth
Premium aged rum is one of the world’s fastest-growing spirits categories. While whisky is showing signs of market saturation, rum remains in its early growth phase, offering a compelling opportunity for forward-thinking investors.
Tax-Efficient & Low Risk
Thanks to HMRC classification, capital gains from cask appreciation are currently exempt from Capital Gains Tax (CGT). We also offer a five-year buyback guarantee at the original purchase price—giving you peace of mind that your investment is protected.

Expert-Led Maturation
Our Cask Director, Ian, brings over a decade of international aging experience and will personally oversee your cask’s progress. You'll receive regular maturation updates and expert guidance to help optimise your cask’s future value and flavour profile.
Sustainable Distilling
With every cask we fill, we also give back. Our distilling by-product is upcycled into regenerative fertiliser through our sister company, QLF Agronomy, helping to improve UK soil health and support British farming.
