VCL Vintners, London’s leading whisky cask broker amongst millennial investors, today reports its strongest year on record since it started trading 13 years ago. The firm smashed its previous turnover record set the year before of £13.7m after hitting an incredible £18.4m in revenues in 2023.
In a year dominated by geopolitics and financial instability, the numbers indicate a clear appetite for portfolio diversification as global markets continue to offer no signs of stability.
VCL Vintners saw a massive growth spike directly after the COVID-19 pandemic and is now seeing further sustained growth as whisky investment continues to become a reputable and trusted asset class within investor portfolios.
Stuart Thom, Director and co-founder of VCL Vintners, said, “We continue to see a strong appetite for whisky investment that hasn’t buckled since COVID-19 restrictions were lifted back in 2022.
“It’s great to see interest in whisky remaining high, and with global legislative changes on the horizon, there will be no shortage of optimism for future years.
“We remain committed to growing a strong industry where investors feel appreciated and in control of their finances as demand continues to grow.”
