How does it work?

CaskX allows anyone to purchase whisky casks from leading distilleries around the world.

1.

We Source Whisky Casks

The CaskX team works with distilleries around the world to procure whisky casks that are positioned to achieve robust returns. Our team has decades of combined experience as collectors, analysts and investors.

2.

Anyone Can Invest

After we purchase a cask, we have it re-gauged and carefully inspected to ensure the details of each cask is represented properly to investors. Investors can open an account to view and purchase available offerings. Upon purchase, full ownership and title certificate are transferred to the investor.

3.

Whisky Continues To Mature

Investing in whisky casks is unique in that each investment gets better with time. The longer an investor chooses to mature the liquid, the more desirable it becomes. Investors can track the projected value of their whisky cask portfolio at anytime by accessing CaskX’s proprietary online management portal.

4.

Monetising Your Investment

CaskX provides unparalleled liquidity through an exclusive online marketplace that reaches investors, bottlers, auction houses and distillery buyback programs. Investors enjoy flexible holding periods and complete control over investment holdings.

Why invest in whisky casks?

Due to the many years required to mature whisky, the casks have long been sold as a way for distilleries to generate the cashflow needed to fund operations. However, these casks have traditionally been difficult for private individuals to acquire direct and the secondary market is generally burdened by high fees and a lack of transparency. For the first time ever, CaskX is using innovative technology to make this powerful asset available to anyone.
