Maturing a Dream
Our Journey
Caskcap was started by two financial experts, Scott Flook and Aaron Dolan, who specialised in different forms of investment. Scott had his background in financial banking and Aaron in tangible asset investment and auctions. The idea for the company came from them doing what they do best, noticing the trends and getting ahead of the curve. So during the covid pandemic, noticing how well whiskey was performing at auctions, they decided once again to follow the trend and get ahead of the curve. Caskcap was set up to be a brokerage with a difference, instead of using the same lists and sheets as every other cask company, we would use our extensive industry network to go directly to the distilleries that we want to work with and bring the most value to our clients with these exclusive offerings.
Why We Do This
For whiskey enthusiasts like us, there is no greater joy than owning your own cask of maturing whiskey. However, dealing directly with distilleries, bonded warehouses and bottling companies can be difficult, complex and costly. We use our industry connections, experience, and insights to make this process as simple as possible for our clients . For those who have not yet gained a love of whiskey, cask ownership can be a shrewd way to protect and potentially grow capital.
Aaron Dolan
Aaron Dolan is a seasoned alternative investment advisor with over a decade of experience helping high-net-worth individuals access exclusive, tax-efficient opportunities.
In 2020 he founded Caskcap, a specialist whiskey cask investment firm that quickly earned a reputation for sourcing rare, exclusive casks directly from the most award-winning distilleries across Ireland.
Building on this success, Aaron launched Goldcap in 2023 to offer clients a complementary route into the world of graded gold coin investments, in order to diversify their portfolios.
Recognising the synergy between these tangible assets, he later unified both ventures under one umbrella — Cap Group — creating a powerhouse in alternative investments focused on whiskey casks and gold coins.
