By setting best practices in cask whisky ownership and sale, the Association aims to protect cask whisky customers and the wider whisky industry.

Key Points: 
  • By setting best practices in cask whisky ownership and sale, the Association aims to protect cask whisky customers and the wider whisky industry.
  • Chairman of the Advisory Board and spokesman for the CWA Colin Hampden-White says the Association's goal is to uphold the overall reputation of the Scotch whisky industry.
  • "The Cask Whisky Association exists to protect private customers from unscrupulous business practices and traders and safeguard independent bottlers from over-inflated pricing," Colin says, adding: "Our Members are committed to, and will provide guidance on, best practice."
  • That's why I think certification and licensing is so important; the Cask Whisky Association provides a quality hallmark for people looking to buy and invest in whisky.
