Terms & Conditions

A deposit of 50% of the spirit component is required upfront to start the process of whisky ownership & maturation.

Customers must pay the cost of sourcing the barrel in full (at cost) & the balance before we fill the barrel at the end of the maturation process.

At the end of the journey, customers bear the cost of labelling the bottles.

The barrel must remain at the distillery during its maturation. 

JOINT BARREL OWNERSHIP

We will provide advice on the appropriate addition of water during maturation & when we think the barrel is ready to be bottled. Where a consensus is not reached between the joint owners on key decisions, we reserve the right to make the decision for the group.

At the time of bottling, each person receives a share of filled bottles in proportion to their share in the barrel. The person with the largest share gets to keep the barrel, where the barrel has been purchased as part of the sale.

Where two or more people have equal largest share of the barrel, we encourage the parties to reach agreement on an arrangement for one party to purchase the barrel off the other equal largest owner(s). In the absence of agreement, Amber Lane is able to purchase the barrel from you.
