Other than those listed above, all stock lines on WhiskyInvestDirect are Major Stock Lines.
A Major Stock Line is deemed by WhiskyInvestDirect to be any stock line which has sufficient quantity within the WhiskyInvestDirect system to render it potentially attractive for acquisition by industry acquirers via a bulk trade bid.
A Minor Stock Line is any stock line which is not deemed by WhiskyInvestDirect to be a Major Stock Line. Minor Stock Lines may result from a successful bulk trade bid. The remainder of the stock line not sold into the bulk trade bid may remain on the WhiskyInvestDirect platform and, if of small volume, will be classified as a Minor Line. More information can be found in our Terms and Conditions.
Minor Stock Lines can cost WhiskyInvestDirect proportionately more to administer and market than Major Stock Lines. WhiskyInvestDirect may charge you a supplementary fee to hold a balance of a Minor Stock Line, in addition to the published Tariff. The following lines currently incur a supplementary fee:
- Ardnamurchan Peated, Malt, First fill bourbon 2019 Q1: £0.20 per LPA per annum (total custody £0.418 per LPA per annum)
