Company Description MacInnes Whisky was founded with a simple ambition: to bring professionalism, transparency, and long-term trust to the whisky cask investment market.
We are owned and operated by an accountant who has spent decades building and running a successful financial advisory practice. Supported by a team of qualified financial professionals, we have built our business on the same principles that underpin trusted financial services—integrity, accountability, and putting clients first.
In an industry where confidence has too often been undermined by poor practices, we believe investors deserve a company that values transparency as highly as opportunity. Every relationship we build is founded on honesty, clear communication, and responsible stewardship, giving our clients confidence in every stage of their whisky cask ownership journey.
Since launching in 2021, our mission has been to make whisky cask ownership more accessible, understandable, and rewarding for both experienced investors and those discovering the market for the first time. Alongside our commitment to exceptional client service, we share a genuine passion for Scotch whisky and the centuries of craftsmanship behind every cask.
This is an privileged opportunity to be a part our first London based team, and means joining a business that is helping raise standards across the industry. If you’re looking to build your career with a company whose reputation is built on professionalism, trust, and long-term relationships, MacInnes offers the opportunity to be part of something different.
