Buying whisky casks

[rowbro]

Good day all,

I am new to the forum and looking for a bit of help - I am a keen whisky drinker and have, for a few years, been buying whisky casks as and when I can get my hands on them (most recently am looking at a cask from the new Islay distillery, Ardnahoe).

I have also been trying to get my hands on a cask of Caol Ila. I have found one through Cask88, however I can't find a good way to verify that their operation is legitimate (seems to be mainly based in China/Singapore) and I am thus cautious about sending substantial amounts of money to them.

Has anyone ever used them to purchase whisky? If not, does anyone know of good ways to verify that they are indeed in possession of the cask I would like to purchase?

Finally, is anyone aware of any other good places from which casks can be purchased?

Thanks in advance

Arran sell them and have details on their own website.
