Mythical Beasts & Tangible Assets: Spiritfield's Ross Archer & Russell Spratley

Is whisky ownership the ultimate tangible asset? In this episode of Cask to Glass, we go behind the scenes of the whisky industry with **Russell Spratley** and **Ross Archer** from Spiritfilled. From their roots in finance to launching an award-winning independent bottling brand and an HMRC-approved bond, they share what it really takes to navigate the world of casks. We dive deep into: •The reality of whisky as a tangible asset vs. a financial instrument. •How the **Braeside Bon**d is creating a new standard for transparency and "experience-led" storage. •The revolutionary **NEOC** (New Era of Cask) process that is transforming how spirits are finished. •How Scottish rugby legend **Finn Russell** became the face of their brand. •The current state of the global whisky market and why "time" is the most valuable ingredient. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just curious about owning your first cask, this conversation offers a rare, honest look at the craft and business of Scotch whisky.
