Orbitus has helped set up a new Guernsey fund focused on investing in the highest quality cask whisky.
Industry-leading figures have been involved with its set up and bring with them detailed knowledge of the premium whisky secretary including distilling in Scotland and across the world.
Darach Capital Investments LP will invest in maturing whisky which is stored in bonded warehouses in multiple jurisdictions, with Sanderson Weatherall providing monitoring and valuation services.
It has been formed under Guernsey’s new Qualifying Private Investor Fund.
Orbitus provided establishment services and guided the promoters through multiple stages from statutory incorporations to the regulatory process, working in close collaboration with Bedell Cristin as lead counsel.
As Designated Administrator and provider of director services, Orbitus will ensure the smooth ongoing administration of the structure, particularly surrounding its upcoming first close.
“This project brought together exceptional expertise from leaders in the world of fine whisky, combined with our knowledge and detailed understanding of fund administration within Guernsey’s proactive regulatory framework,” said Samuel Stoddart, Fund & Corporate Manager at Orbitus.
Andrew Ranger, one of Darach’s promoters, added: “The GFSC’s approval of Darach Capital Investments LP represents a significant milestone for our team and our investors. By bringing professional fund management standards to a traditionally private market, we aim to give investors a secure and transparent way to participate in the long-term value creation of rare Scotch whisky casks.”
