Harrogate entrepreneur Jonathan Yates has launched Caskd, a digital platform that gives whisky enthusiasts a way to buy, sell and manage their collections.

As whisky collecting continues to grow, many enthusiasts are questioning the high costs associated with traditional auction houses. Seller commissions, buyer’s premiums, shipping costs and lengthy settlement times can make buying and selling both expensive and frustrating.

Caskd offers an alternative by removing unnecessary middlemen and enabling enthusiasts to trade directly with one another through a trusted community.
