      FrequentlyAsked Questions

        Disclaimer: Important Information Regarding Whisky as an Investment. Please read the following carefully before making any purchase. This communication is for informational purposes only and does not constitute financial or investment advice. WHISKYBYTIME is not a regulated financial institution, and any references to “investment,” “broker,” or “advice” are used solely to describe our services and should not be interpreted as financial recommendations.

        Not Financial Advice or Regulated Services:
WHISKYBYTIME is not authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and does not provide financial or investment advice. We operate as a whisky platform offering impartial guidance to help customers explore their options—not to instruct them on what to buy. References to “investment,” “brokers,” or “portfolio management” are for general context only and do not imply FCA-regulated services.

        Whisky as a Tangible Asset:

        Whisky is sold as a physical, collectible asset—not a financial product. It is not FCA-regulated, and purchasing whisky carries distinct risks compared to traditional investments like stocks or bonds. Decisions should be based on independent research and personal judgment.

        No Guarantee of Financial Returns:

        Whisky values fluctuate based on market demand, age, rarity, and other factors. The volume of spirit diminishes over time (the “Angels’ share”), and “New Make” spirit must mature for at least 3 years while maintaining a minimum 40% ABV to qualify as whisky. Fees apply (see Terms and Conditions), and past performance does not indicate future results. WHISKYBYTIME makes no guarantees on returns, profitability, or resale value.

        Market and Liquidity Risks:

        Reselling whisky can be subject to market conditions, with no assurance of speed or profit. Liquidity risks should be carefully considered. Any mention of “investment goals” or “returns” is hypothetical and not a promise of financial gain.

        No Advisory Role:

        Our team members, sometimes referred to as “consultants” or “brokers,” are specialists in whisky as a collectible—not regulated financial advisors. Customers are encouraged to seek independent financial advice for investment decisions.

        Pricing Structure:

        WHISKYBYTIME’s sale price includes a markup covering operational costs such as storage, insurance, cask maintenance, and administrative services. This margin supports business sustainability but may impact potential profitability due to the spread between acquisition and resale prices. By purchasing through WHISKYBYTIME, you acknowledge understanding these terms and the inherent risks of whisky ownership. You have 14 days to cancel for a full refund under our cooling-off period.
