The process

How it works.

  1. 1

    Purchase your barrel at wholesale.

    Choose your barrel size and tier. Your barrel is insured and registered on the Personal Property Securities Register and stored in our ATO-monitored bond store at no cost to you.

    From $10,000 · one-time payment
  2. 2

    Your whisky matures, your returns compound.

    While your barrel sits in our cellar, the whisky matures and your fixed return compounds annually. We sample and test every barrel regularly after it turns 3.

    9.5–11.5% p.a. compounding
  3. 3

    We buy it back — you don’t find a buyer.

    Once maturity is reached (between 3 and 5 years), we buy your barrel back at purchase price plus your full compounded return. You can even keep up to half the whisky for yourself.

    Buy-back assurance in 3–5 years

Case Study

How John turned $10,000 into $14,376.

  1. Year 0 — Purchase

    John purchased one 225L barrel for $10,000 with a fixed compounding return of 9.50% p.a.

  2. Years 1–4 — Maturation

    His barrel sat in the bond store. No fees, no decisions required. Returns compounded annually while the whisky aged.

  3. Year 4 — Buy-back

    Coburns confirmed maturity and bought John’s barrel back — no searching for a buyer, no negotiations.

Asset protection

Your ownership is protected at every step.

  • Buy-back assurance contract

    A legally binding contract: we buy your barrel back at purchase price plus your full compounded return. You don’t even have to find a buyer.

  • PPSR registered ownership

    Every barrel is registered on the Personal Property Securities Register — a federal database. Your ownership is on record, independently verifiable.

  • ATO-monitored bond store

    Stored in an Australian Taxation Office monitored bond store. They can audit unannounced and we cannot relocate your barrel without their permission.

  • Fully insured barrels

    All barrels are insured. In the rare event of a leak or damage, we rectify the issue at no cost — repair, replacement or insurance claim. You bear no risk.

  • No ongoing fees — ever

    Storage, management and sampling are all covered by Coburns. Your one-time purchase is your only cost. No annual fees, no hidden charges, no maintenance bills.

  • Fixed, compounding returns

    Your return rate is locked in at the time of purchase and written into your contract. Markets don’t affect your rate. You know exactly what you’ll receive at maturity.

Testimonials

550+ Australians are already barrel owners.

My wife and I attended the distillery on the weekend to see where the magic happens. Brad the barrel master met us on site and did a tour. We are very content with our investment to date and where Coburns is heading.

Stephen Wright Barrel Owner

The whisky is of the highest quality, taste and aroma. The end result is a testament to Mark and his team. Passion in a barrel to be enjoyed now and forever.

Peter Dunworth Barrel Owner

Mark answered all our questions without a hint of holding anything back. If you were to leave with any uncertainty of Mark’s commitment to the long-term future of Coburns, I would be amazed.

Common questions

Frequently asked.

  • We will buy your whisky back once we determine that your barrel has reached maturation — no earlier than 3 years and no later than 5 years. We pay out your purchase price plus the full compounded return. You don’t even have to find a buyer.

  • No. None at all. Storage, management, sampling and insurance are all covered by Coburns. Your one-time purchase payment is your only financial commitment for the life of the investment.

  • Multiple layers of protection: every barrel is registered on the federal government’s Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR); stored in an ATO-monitored bond store (they can audit us without notice); fully insured; and subject to a legally binding buy-back contract with fixed returns.

  • The whisky in the barrel is worth approximately double the buy-back price at maturity. Coburns has wholesale supply opportunities to national and international markets — the commercial incentive to buy your barrel back is strong. Combined with the legally binding contract and PPSR registration, your exit is secured.

  • Yes. You can keep up to 50% of the whisky in your barrel. Coburns will buy the remaining portion at a pro-rata amount. For example, if you keep 10%, we buy 90% and pay 90% of the buy-back amount. If this is purely a financial investment, you don’t have to keep any whisky at all.

  • Yes. You can experience Coburns whisky at home through the Coburns Trunk Club at coburns.co, or visit the distillery for a private tour and tasting. Simply contact Brad to arrange a time.

  • The minimum ownership is a single barrel. There is no maximum — some owners hold multiple tiers across both 225L and 300L barrels.
