HOW IT WORKS

Building Whisky Cask Portfolios For Investors Around The World

Entering the whisky world will be one of the most fulfilling and fun adventures you undertake. To help you understand every part of the process, we’ve documented all the information you will need to make the start of your cask portfolio as smooth as possible.

1.

Cask Sourcing

Through our relationships and ties in the global whisky industry we have access to the best deals. Instead of brokering, we purchase bourbon and scotch casks in bulk in order to secure the best deals at the best prices for our clients.

2.

Investor Acquisition

From newly distilled whisky to well-aged stock, we have casks for all qualified investors. Whether you’re a beginner in whisky, a fan-turned-investor, or a seasoned collector, we have something for you.

3.

Whisky Maturation

Whisky maturation is halted after bottling. Casks, however, continue to mature as time passes. The longer one waits, the older and more valuable the whisky within the cask will become.

4.

Monetization & Exit Strategies

At CaskX, our client relationships extend beyond the purchase. We stay with you every step of the way, throughout the years, right down to the time you wish to monetize your investment. We’ll help you resell, bottle, and distribute your cask portfolio when the whisky has come of age.

WHY DISTILLERIES SELL CASKS

The business of whisky and how investors play an important role

Take a closer look at the reasons why distilleries sell casks and the critical role these investments play in the future success of the industry.

Cash Flow

Any business, including both old and new distilleries, needs cash to run. Whisky, however, needs to mature for three years before it can even be called whisky. This is law, but several more years are usually necessary for the liquid to reach optimal colour and flavour. During this important time, distilleries choose to sell new make and young casks in order to remain operational. This is where investors comes in. Selling casks keep the lights on for new, exciting distilleries and investors make that a possibility. Join a new distillery and become a part of the exciting journey ahead. Investment and adventure, all in one place.

Increased Distribution

Independent bottling companies purchase casks from distilleries in bulk, blend the whisky, bottle it, and build new brands. Most bottlers select only the finest casks and have built powerful product ranges centered around strict quality standards. These companies often have ties with distilleries which span back decades, and tend to trade casks as a side business to their own labels. After distilleries, these companies are the one of our main sources of casks.

Brand Growth

Beyond monetary aspects, selling casks to investors and independent bottlers helps distilleries diversify and reach out further, taking their brand to the next level. Casks sales, auctions, and independent bottlers often add value to a brand, and send bottle and cask prices soaring. This, in turn, increases the value of our clients’ portfolios.
