For distilleries
Know what you hold. Prove it on demand.
You hold the barrels and you issue the warehouse receipt. CaskEquity gives small and mid-sized distilleries one ledger for both, with a clear carrying-cost number beside every lot, so when a buyer, broker or lender asks what you have, the answer is already written down.
Why now
Aging inventory used to be patience. Now it is a monthly bill.
Kentucky is holding a record 16.1 million barrels while demand cools and barrel taxes climb. For a craft or mid-sized distillery, a few hundred surplus barrels can tie up more cash than the bottling line.
01
Recover carrying costs
Know the all-in cost of holding each lot for another year, then decide with the number in hand instead of a hunch.
02
Own the record
The receipt, the regauge and the title chain live with you, the party that actually holds the barrels, not in a broker's spreadsheet.
03
Close faster
Every barrel arrives with the records diligence requires. Fewer emails, fewer site visits, fewer deals that stall.
Detailed barrel visibility
Answer "what's in it?" before anyone asks
Barrel-level profiles with fill date, mash bill, entry proof, cooperage, warehouse position and regauge history, with the warehouse receipt attached to each one.
- Buyer confidence. Complete records and clear custody mean fewer discounts for uncertainty.
- Fewer fire drills. The routine questions are answered by the record, so your team stops digging through filing cabinets.
- Lender-ready. If your barrels secure a loan, the same records answer the bank's questions too.
Shared ledger
Your ledger, their view
Brokers you work with and investor groups whose barrels sit in your rickhouse can be given a seat on your ledger, scoped to the barrels they are entitled to see. One source of truth instead of three.
- Scoped access. Each outside party sees their barrels and documents, and nothing else.
- Third-party owners. If you store barrels for private owners or clubs, their records stay on your ledger with their receipt attached.
- Integrations. Imports from Whiskey Systems and Distill X5, so nobody re-keys inventory.
