Rare Whisky Ownership Program — Collect, Store & Sell
Some bottles are for tonight. Others are for keeping. Our Ownership Program lets you buy rare and collectable whisky at Andorran prices, keep it safely in our cellar in Andorra la Vella, and — when the day comes — sell it on to another collector without the bottle ever leaving the vault.
Buy and store, in Andorra or at the distillery
Buy your bottle and leave it in our custody: in bonded storage at the distillery, in Scotland and other distillery locations, or in our cellar in Andorra la Vella, until you are ready to collect it.
In Andorra, the first year of cellaring is free for any bottle bought from us. At the distillery, storage is by the box: a case of bottles, or a rare bottle in its presentation box.
Fully insured. Fully segregated.
How it works
1 · Buy at Andorran prices
Andorra charges no tax on alcohol and only 4.5% VAT — while in France and Spain the same bottle carries excise duty plus 20–21% VAT. Same whisky, same reference — typically 20–40% less, depending on the bottle. Choose from more than 350 references in our shop, or ask us to source a specific bottle for you (form below).
2 · Store it with us — first year free
Your bottles rest in our secure, insured cellar in Andorra la Vella. Each one is registered with its serial and photograph, and you receive an ownership certificate in your name. Collect whenever you want — on your next trip, or years from now. After the free first year, storage continues at a modest annual rate.
3 · Enjoy it — or sell it
When you’re ready to part with a bottle, we offer it to our network of collectors and members. Because the bottle stays in the cellar, ownership simply transfers on our register — no shipping, no customs, no risk to the bottle. We handle the buyer, the paperwork and the secure card payment, and take a commission only when it sells.
Why collectors buy here
- The price advantage is structural, not a promotion: no alcohol tax and 4.5% VAT are Andorran law.
- Provenance you can prove: every stored bottle is photographed, serial-registered and certified.
- Sell-back service: sell through us when the time comes — see Cellaring & Consignment below.
- A real shop, not just a website: visit us at C. Dr. Nequi 9, Andorra la Vella; taste at our masterclasses; meet the people keeping your bottles.
The small print, plainly
We sell whisky for collecting and enjoyment. Nothing on this page is financial advice. Sales are to adults 18+ only. Storage applies to bottles purchased from WHISKY.AD; full storage and resale terms are available on request.

Cellaring & Consignment at WHISKY.AD
Cellaring (safekeeping). Bottles purchased at WHISKY.AD can stay safely in our cellar in Andorra La Vella — upright, protected from light, fully insured. The first years are on us: 1 year free for any bottle, 3 years for €500 or more, and 5 years for bottles of €1,000 or more or purchases totalling €5,000 or more. Free cellaring covers up to 12 bottles per client. After that, cellaring costs just €20 per bottle per year, plus IGI. Your bottles remain yours at all times; collect them in person or by local delivery within Andorra whenever you wish.
Selling through us (consignment). When the time comes to part with a bottle, we can sell it for you — in your name and on your behalf, from an agreed listing price of €500. Every listing is marked “Sold on behalf of the owner.” Our commission, plus IGI, is 20% for listings from €500 (minimum €75), 15% from €2,000, and 12% from €5,000 — and bottles originally purchased at WHISKY.AD with their receipt pay 15% or the applicable rate, whichever is lower. We handle everything: authentication, photography, listing in four languages, display in the store, insured safekeeping while listed, payment and age verification. Proceeds reach your account by bank transfer within 14 days of cleared payment. Consigned bottles are sold with the legal guarantee applicable to second-hand goods.
How it works. Both services are set up in a few minutes at the store, with a signed agreement and a documented condition record for each bottle. Fees are payable by card or bank transfer. Read the full terms in section 16 of our Terms & Conditions.
