Why Whiskey
Discover the benefits of investing in casks of whiskey
Our clients have found their cask whiskey portfolios to be dependable, especially during periods of high inflation and economic volatility.
Diversification
Casks of whiskey can serve as a robust diversification tool due to their low correlation with traditional financial markets. Their value tends to be influenced by factors such as whiskey production, aging processes, and consumer demand for aged whiskey, rather than the performance of stocks, bonds, or other mainstream assets.
Inflation hedge
The 2022 peak of 9.1% inflation presented significant economic challenges. Cask whiskey, composed of raw commodities, offer a tangible hedge against currency devaluation during inflation. This makes them a reliable asset for preserving wealth and maintaining purchasing power amidst economic uncertainty.
Steady returns
Data shows casks of scotch whisky increase by 11.51% annually on average over the first 10 years.
Opportunity
The long-term market opportunity
The surge in demand for aged premium whiskey is fueled by the premiumization trend and the rising prosperity of the middle classes. However, this increasing demand is met with a shortage of supply.
Historically, whiskey production has favored blends over premium expressions, such as single malt or pot still. With well-aged stocks depleting, distilleries struggle to keep pace.
Investors can capitalize on this trend by investing in casks of new make spirit, anticipating robust returns after a 10+ year maturation period when the whiskey is scarce and in high demand.
