Frequently Asked Questions
What problem does CaskEquity solve in the bourbon industry?
CaskEquity bridges the gap between tradition and technology by offering a secure, transparent tracking platform for bourbon barrel investments. It empowers distilleries, brokers, and investors to monitor their barrel portfolios with clarity—providing insights from fill to resale.
How does CaskEquity help if the market is flooded with bourbon barrels?
Our platform adds structure and transparency in times of market saturation. With built-in portfolio visibility and resale potential, investors and distilleries can make informed decisions—even when the market tightens. It serves as a stabilizing solution in volatile conditions.
Who benefits from using the CaskEquity platform?
Distilleries: Gain post-sale transparency tools to enhance trust with investors.
Brokers: Manage multiple client portfolios in one place.
Investor Groups: Receive tailored features that support co-ownership structures and exit strategies.
What kind of transparency does CaskEquity offer?
Every barrel tracked on CaskEquity includes details like fill date, age, insurance value, storage cost, and estimated resale value. Our goal is to bring Wall Street-level reporting to Main Street bourbon investing.
Is this platform just for large distilleries?
Not at all. CaskEquity was built specifically to serve small and mid-sized distilleries, allowing them to compete with larger players by offering the same level of investment confidence and post-sale transparency.
What are the pricing models for CaskEquity?
We offer flexible pricing options based on use case:
– Flat monthly subscription for distilleries
– Per-client portfolio pricing for brokers
– Custom enterprise options for high-volume partners
Transaction-based pricing or resale marketplace fees may be introduced in Phase 2.
Could this be used as a full barrel marketplace?
Yes. We envision a Phase 2 rollout where the platform includes a barrel resale marketplace, providing liquidity to investors and increasing long-term value for distilleries.
How does this integrate with distillery systems like Whiskey Systems or Distill X5?
We’re currently are connected with Whiskey Systems via CSV file and actively working to integrate with platforms like Distill X5 via API. This means barrel data can automatically sync into CaskEquity, creating a live snapshot of each investor’s portfolio as barrels move from fill to rickhouse.
Are NFTs or digital certificates part of this system?
Yes, we are exploring NFT-based barrel authentication and ownership tokens. This would enable a secure, verifiable method of tracking ownership and history—ideal for collectors and high-end investors.
Is CaskEquity selling barrels or offering investment advice?
No. CaskEquity is a technology platform only. We do not sell barrels, offer financial advice, or provide valuations. Our role is to support distilleries and brokers with the tools to manage barrel portfolios and improve investor confidence.
Is CaskEquity already being used?
Yes. Our first live rollout is with Coal Pick Distillery in Kentucky. The system is currently in use by their internal team, with a demo available for qualified partners.
