CaskGuard links every physical cask to a tamper-evident NFC tag and an immutable blockchain record, then opens ownership to investors from just £100.
Cask whisky is a proven asset class, but the way it is bought, held and sold has barely changed in a century.
Distilleries wait 8–12 years to monetise maturing stock, leaving valuable capital idle.
Traditional cask deals require £3,000–£10,000 minimums with little transparency for the buyer.
Paper certificates can be forged, duplicated or sold twice with no way to verify.
Manual warehouse records make bonded-warehouse and duty compliance slow and error-prone.
Investors rarely see where their cask is, its condition, or whether it still exists.
There is no trusted secondary market, so exiting a position can take months or years.
A Snap-Seal tamper-evident NFC tag is fitted to the cask, creating a permanent physical-to-digital link.
Every scan — at bonding, inspection, regauge or transfer — is written to a permissioned ledger with a timestamp and location.
The cask is divided into digital fractions, letting investors participate from £100.
Holders monitor their cask in real time and trade fractions on the CaskGuard secondary market.
A copper loop inside the tag breaks permanently if removed, making tampering instantly detectable on the next scan.
Immutable ownership and custody records, designed around HMRC and FCA requirements.
Temperature and humidity sensors report warehouse conditions that affect maturation.
