Wagner Casks was founded in 2016 with one simple goal in mind: to encourage and enable more people to buy and sell whisky casks, and enjoy the heritage and history of Scotland’s finest product. We work with both large and small distilleries, from big, established names to exciting, groundbreaking start-ups, as we seek to help more people get more enjoyment out of whisky.
We help whisky lovers to buy, sell, mature and bottle casks of Scotch whisky. As an independent broker, we facilitate the buying and selling of casks of premium Scottish whiskies, whether these are new make spirits or mature whiskies.
At Wagner Spirits, we provide end-to-end cask services with global reach. Our heart and headquarters are here in Scotland, but our footprint extends worldwide.
Our Vision
To make whisky cask ownership more accessible by facilitating buying, selling, storing and ultimately drinking whisky.
Our Mission
To facilitate the buying and selling of whisky casks through providing expert advice and professional services.
Our Values
As an owner operated whisky brokerage, we offer complete transparency. The advice we give is based on available information.
At Wagner, we are passionate about two things: whisky, and client service. Our team, led by Donald MacLellan, has over 20 years’ experience in the industry.
