Spirit & Cask offers a small number of commercial positions to brands that belong in a publication about fine spirits. Our readers are drinkers with money and collectors with patience: exactly the audience the category's advertisers want, reached in a title they trust.
Commercial inventory
- Sponsored features: a single editorial-quality feature, written to our standards, published in a distinct sponsored template, and labeled "Sponsored" throughout. PROPOSED RATE: $4,500.
- Section sponsorships: your brand associated with one section of the site (Whisky, Cognac & Armagnac, Rum, Agave, The Cask, Collecting, Culture) for one year. Editorial remains independent; sponsorship is a badge, never an influence. PROPOSED RATE: $18,000 per year.
- Annual partnerships: a bespoke year-long program across site, newsletter, and events, agreed per partner. PROPOSED RATE: $45,000.
- Founding partner circle: charter partners for the title's first year, with preferred positions and first refusal on new inventory. PROPOSED RATE: $25,000 per year, locked, for the first ten partners.
All rates on this page are PROPOSED until signed off by the publisher. No rate quoted here is final.
The rule that matters
Sponsored work is always labeled. Coverage is never for sale. No sponsored content ever appears in the Amber List or the Cask Index, and no commercial partner influences judging, ranking, or editorial coverage. If that line ever moved, this page would be the first to tell you.
Media kit
- Audience: serious spirits drinkers, collectors, and trade professionals across the US, UK, and Europe, reading on their phones and buying at the top of the market.
- Sections: Whisky, Cognac & Armagnac, Rum, Agave, The Makers, The Cask, Collecting, Culture.
- Ad specs: published to media partners on request; all creative is reviewed for quality before it runs.
- Contact: the contact channel is being finalized by the publisher; details will be listed on our Contact page once confirmed.
