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.

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.
HISTORICAL GROWTH (2015 – 2020)
According to data from WhiskyStats.net, whisky has outperformed the S&P 500 by more than 68% over the past 5 years. Additionally, whisky did not observe any significant decline during the 2008-2009 financial crisis when the S&P 500 declined 58%. During the current market turbulence, whisky has retained it’s value. All of this data shows the power of whisky as a safe-haven asset that can deliver robust returns.
10 YEAR TOTAL RETURNS BY ASSET
Information compiled by Knight Frank demonstrates how surging demand for whisky that has been matured for longer time periods has caused significant rises in value. Both Rare and Emerging Whisky categories exhibited returns that outpaced all major stock indexes.
