We recently connected with Jeremy Kasler and have shared our conversation below.
Jeremy, appreciate you joining us today. Is there a heartwarming story from your career that you look back on?
Apart from my wife and daughter, I am proud of my ability to build 3 businesses from scratch that have enabled my clients to make positive financial returns and at the same time building a family of employees and seeing their lives grow both emotionally and financially.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
I was born in the UK and started at a very young age selling hotdogs. My grandfather played a pivotal role in my life that later altered my career path from selling fine arts to now, whiskey casks. CaskX was born out of a shared passion for fine whiskey and a vision to make whiskey investing accessible to enthusiasts and investors alike. My personal journey began with a deep appreciation for whiskey, and I soon realized that investing in whiskey casks could be a rewarding venture. I assembled a team of experts, including master distillers, sommeliers, and financial specialists, to create CaskX. Our diverse backgrounds brought together the perfect blend of craftsmanship and financial acumen.
We offer investors the opportunity to add a layer of strength to their portfolios that strays away from traditional financial instruments. Whiskey casks represent a tangible asset that appreciates with time. In today’s uncertain economic climate, whiskey casks serve as a safeguard against inflationary pressures and the instability associated with paper-based financial instruments.
CaskX stands out from the competition by offering three competitive advantages: direct partnerships with distilleries, an unwavering commitment to transparency, and a strong financial-oriented approach. Clients gain exclusive access to a diverse range of whiskey casks through direct partnerships with distilleries. This unique network ensures a curated portfolio of premium assets with strong investment potential. As an added bonus, clients also enjoy immersive distillery tours for a hands-on experience. Transparency is a core value, with an online portal providing access to essential documents, ownership certificates, inspection reports, and portfolio monitoring. The CaskX team specializes in crafting tailored portfolios for maximum returns, aligning with clients’ unique goals, making for a distinct and rewarding investment experience.
Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?
We started the CaskX group of companies in March 2020, therefore peak corona. I spent the first few months isolated in my house in Sydney Australia. My core staff were literally all over the world. It took a huge amount of discipline and persistence to drive the business forward under these circumstances. Thankfully we had Zoom.
Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?
“Stick to what you know”. In order to create a thriving enterprise you have to move into new territory. If you only ever stuck to what you know you wouldn’t ever learn much.
