Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 37 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the staff for their helpfulness, knowledge, and professional approach, making the investment process clear and reassuring. Many highlight the excellent customer service, noting the team's responsiveness, support, and willingness to go the extra mile, especially for first-time investors. The company's events, including tastings and tours, are frequently mentioned as well-organized, insightful, and enjoyable, enhancing their understanding of whisky as both a product and an investment.

A few other people also felt that the level of service and friendliness could drop if they were not immediately investing.

Whiskey Cast Purchase.

Once I had decided to make a purchase, I found the process very easy. Very helpful customer service.

I am editing this review :

I purchased 2 casks.
It took about 9 months to get the location and proof of ownership for 1 cask. Many emails / phone calls to get to that stage.
The second cask was even worse - nearly a year to get proof of ownership
London Cask Traders did not know where the cask was .........
I reseached and found the cask for them.
I found the overal customer support very lacking.
One is bombarded with phone calls and emails when they are trying to sell.
Different after the event - it is difficult to get a reply or a straight answer.

Highly recommend this company

I was dealing with Andrew Parker who was open and honest. It made the research and purchase so much easier. I could communicate with him on a different number of platforms and his reply was prompt, clear, concise and friendly.

Excellent customer service

Lynden Keys is very helpful, friendly and knowledgable. The investment process is straightforward with no pressure or hard sell. This was my first investment with the company and would recommend them to anyone considering doing the same.

Easy to deal with

Easy to deal with, no pushy sales, I never felt pressured throughout the investment process with great communication. Clear information is offered with independent reports and press releases shared. I have dealt with other whisky traders but these guys are certainly the friendliest to deal with.

I was looking to invest money for my grandchildren and felt that savings bank and ISA interest rates were stagnant.
After carrying out some investigation I decided to invest in Casks of Whiskey.
I contacted London Cask Traders after viewing their website and began a conversation with Jack Gray at LCT. He was extremely knowledgeable and very enthusiastic about the product. So I decided to go ahead.
Initially I purchased 6 casks and very quickly realised, with help from Jack that it was a sound investment and purchased a further 18. I have had the investment only a matter of a few months and my investment has seen a significant increase already.
I would strongly recommend London Cask Traders to anyone who is thinking about going down this investment route.
