"I enquired online a few weeks ago and I've received a call from this company and 2 other companies. Most people will resonate with me when I say these companies usually bombard you with phone calls and put on the sleezy salesman act. These guys are way different, they were extremely calm and always said if you don't want to do this investment you don't have to. I really liked these lots approach and it seems very knowledgeable."

"Absolute brilliant company. I always recommend them to friends. I've been dealing personally with Declan for the last 7 years and he's probably the most honest person I've dealt with in this space. Extremely helpful and loves to have a laugh with you, couldn't recommend these guys more!"

"I had the pleasure of dealing with Declan, and I must say, after being contacted numerous times over the past few years by numerous investment companies, he's the only person who hasn't made me feel pressured. From start to finish, he's been incredibly professional and genuinely focused on just being helpful. I've just sold one of my casks, and the whole process was seamless. Thank you so much!"

"A long overdue review. I initially met Courtney and George at the CDM offices and was very skeptical at first due to being my first investment in whisky. Quickly, I was met with complete reassurance through expert knowledge and guidance. They very quickly made everything make sense to suit my financial goals perfectly. A big thanks to Courtney, George and Katie for all their dedication and support with my portfolio thus far. With great confidence I am looking forward to working alongside CDM for many years to come."

"I've been investing for 25 years and currently work with six different brokerages, but CDM stands out as my favourite by far. Over the past year, Courtney has been a fantastic point of contact. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable about whisky investments, but he also has a sharp understanding of how global events affect broader markets. His insights have been invaluable in helping me make smart decisions across my portfolio. What really sets CDM apart is their personal and professional approach. They go beyond just managing investments. They genuinely care about their clients. I've received thoughtful touches like a Christmas card, which is rare in this industry and shows how much they value their relationships. I recently purchased three incredible pieces of art from CDM's partner gallery in Chelsea, London, and I'm excited for them to be fitted in my home this Friday. The entire process was smooth and enjoyable, just like every interaction I've had with the team. If you're looking for a brokerage that combines expertise with a personal touch, I highly recommend CDM. They've been a standout among all the firms I've worked with over the years."

"Fantastic experience with Courtney. He is helpful, always explains things, and when I urgently needed to sell 1 cask out of my portfolio, he was so wonderful and supportive that I almost regretted selling it. Just a great experience."

I am currently invested with 2 other companies and the offer they put on the table for me took me by complete pleasant surprise. Could not recommend them enough. I look forward to the next few years with CDM by my side. Thank you!"

"I was sceptical about investing my money after scam after scam, but talking to Courtney at CDM Capital put my mind at ease with his trustworthy voice and explained everything I wanted to know without being pushy. I did a lot of research into CDM Capital and Boann Distillery in Ireland, a family business run by the Cooney family, and I'm off to Ireland next year to see my cask with my daughter's name on it. Courtney said he could organise the tour around the distillery. From start to finish Courtney was so professional. Many thanks Courtney. I will be recommending to friends and family."

"I've always loved whisky, but I never thought about investing in it until a friend suggested it. After doing a bit of research, I decided to give CDM a try, and I couldn't be happier with the experience so far. From the first call, their team made me feel like I wasn't just another customer. They took the time to really understand what I was looking for and patiently walked me through everything. I was pretty new to the idea of whisky as an investment, but they made it easy. They explained how the market works, helped me choose some great casks, and even gave me insights into which distilleries are up-and-coming. I felt like I was learning a lot and making smart choices, not just guessing. One of the things I really appreciate is how transparent they are. They keep me updated on how my investments are doing and even provide market insights without overwhelming me with too much information. Plus, knowing that my whisky is safely stored and insured gives me real peace of mind."

"When these other reviews say CDM are different to other companies, they really are! It was my birthday the week I spoke to them and they sent me a bottle for my birthday prior to me even investing. These lot really are a breath of fresh air. Great guys behind it too. I spoke to Miles initially and then was passed over to the director of the company to make sure I understood the investment. The one thing I remember him saying to me was along the lines of, 'This investment you've just made, are you still comfortable? Because if not we can get you out of the market.' That's the first time I've come across someone that actually felt like they cared and not just made me invest and then forgot about me. These lot are very different. They give me updates and leave me to it."

"I have bought several casks from CDM. This is the first time I've asked to sell one. The process was very straight forward, I was shown current valuations from my portfolio and the price quoted was the price I ended up with. Very pleased, as you really don't know how trustworthy a company is until you try to sell."

"I can't express enough how different this company is. Not one sales tactic. I've been dealing within these sort of investments for decades and the amount of calls I've received from salespeople and them shoving stuff down my throat. These lot are very blunt but at the same time they're very knowledgeable. The one reason I invested is because at the start of the call they said, 'This investment isn't for everyone, if this doesn't fit in with your investments don't buy from us.' I thought this is probably the first phone call I've received where the salesperson hasn't tried to force me to invest. I didn't get bombarded with sales calls and sales emails. They also didn't quote me ridiculous returns like everyone else, so I just want to thank you for not being like everyone else and being realistic. Could recommend enough!"

Don't get me wrong, my account manager is very black and white but no sales tactics at all, which I really like. When I received a call from them they gave me a few options, said they'd leave it with me, then received another call saying if it's not for you let us know, where usually some companies I'd spoken to would be ramming it down my throat. I hope you continue business how you've been doing. Good work."

"Just cashed out of one of my casks. Extremely happy seeing as it was such a quick turnaround. They did say to me when I came on board that I should hold for 3-5 years, however I came into some financial difficulties and had to try to get some cash so they offered to sell one of my casks out and got me out within 6 days. Really happy with these guys. I've dealt with other companies before and they just constantly try to sell, sell, sell, but with these guys they've shown me proof that I can sell out of the market and they don't badger me with calls all the time about buying. Very satisfied customer."

"I currently use three different companies in the wine and whisky space. These guys are very different to other companies. There's no hard selling tactics. Don't get me wrong, they do come to me with offers but they definitely don't try to pressure me like I've had in the past from other companies. One thing I feel with these guys is they're very knowledgeable in whisky and try to stay away from the sales stuff. My account manager is very blunt with me and I feel he tells me if I'm doing something right or wrong when it comes to investing in this field. One company I used in the past would non-stop pester me with buying more whisky and wouldn't take no for an answer. These guys are quite the opposite. I appreciate Adam. I know I'm not the easiest person to deal with but I'm extremely happy so far."

The one thing I would say that's different to the other companies I've spoken to is that I didn't hear any of that scripted rubbish they all use. So thumbs up for that. I'll have a look into the market properly but definitely feel if I were to invest it would be with this company just off the back of that conversation. It was quite a long conversation, he explained everything and didn't try to push me."

"I've just received an email from CDM asking how I've found my experience. I've sold out of my investment sooner than I wanted to due to having to pay for my daughter's wedding. I've sold out of the market after 14 months. I'm happy with the return I received and the selling period only took 2 weeks, which I thought was relatively quick. The only thing I could say in terms of company feedback is that I didn't get called every month. I only got called every 2-3 months, which I thought I was going to get regular feedback, but they did mention they were really busy at that time. Other than that I would definitely recommend them. I've dealt with other companies in different alternative investments and found it's pretty tricky to sell, so I'm happy they got me out so quickly. Thanks guys. Hopefully I will be coming back in the near future."

"My experience with CDM Capital has been as smooth sailing as I could possibly ask for. I invested with them towards the start of the year. A clear entry-to-exit plan was put in front of me and how different levels of capital would perform over the next 3-5 years. The advice from the get-go was to start small and let them prove themselves to me, then build up the portfolio, which I have bit by bit since. I'd highly recommend the gentlemen at CDM Capital if you're thinking about investing your money into the cask whisky market or any alternative investments. They've had numerous solutions for me and I have referred friends. Thanks Courtney."

"CDM dropped me an email asking if I could put a review, so these are my thoughts thus far. From the start they never tried to pressure me into purchasing. They gave me the options and said if it's for me then move ahead, if not they'd take me off the system, which I thought was nice to hear because usually these kind of companies bombard you and never take no as an answer. I'm really happy they pay for storage and insurance. They don't hound me with calls. I usually receive a call once every 2 months unless it's what they class as important. They offer me only discounted casks and show proof of the discount, so to me they're extremely transparent. Again I've purchased from one other company in the past and found I paid way over the market price, so with CDM it's nice to know they're offering competitive pricing. My account manager is extremely professional and has never tried any of these pushy sales tactics. I would definitely recommend them, and I have already recommended them to a few friends."
