Whiskey investment company CaskX announced the continued expansion of its investment platform with the addition of American Single Malt Whiskey to its suite of client offerings.

American Single Malt received official recognition as a distinct whiskey category in January 2025 and CaskX quickly recognized the unique opportunity it provided for clients to diversify their portfolios with a completely new type of whiskey with limited existing inventory in U.S. warehouses.

The American Single Malt category represents a significant innovation in the U.S. whiskey landscape, distinguished by its 100% malted barley mash bill, a departure from the corn-dominant recipes of traditional bourbon.

“While bourbon has defined American whiskey for centuries, American Single Malt opens an entirely new chapter in the country’s storied spirits-making tradition,” Jeremy Kasler, founder and CEO of CaskX, said in a news release.

“We’re excited to be at the forefront of this new category and give clients the rare chance to get in on the ground floor of what we believe will become a highly sought-after segment of the whiskey market.”

The American Single Malt category offers several features for investors:

• Long-term aging potential: Unlike bourbon, which must use new barrels and often reaches peak maturity relatively quickly, American Single Malt can utilize previously used barrels, allowing for longer, more gradual aging similar to Scotch whisky.
• Rarity value: With very little American Single Malt currently aging in U.S. warehouses, early investors will own some of the first significant stocks in this category.
• Unique flavor profiles: The combination of 100% malted barley and the option to use either new or used barrels opens new flavor possibilities distinct from traditional American whiskeys.
• Sustainability: The ability to use previously used barrels provides environmental benefits by extending barrel life and reducing the need for international shipping of used bourbon barrels.

Collaboration with Jackson Purchase Distillery

CaskX’s initial American Single Malt offering will feature a collaboration with Jackson Purchase Distillery, where Master Distiller Craig Beam – formerly of Heaven Hill and part of a storied bourbon-making legacy – is crafting an exceptional spirit using specialized malt selected specifically for its flavor contribution.

In a notable twist that honors bourbon heritage while embracing innovation, the spirit will mature in ex-Heaven Hill barrels, creating a symbolic bridge between Craig Beam’s past at Heaven Hill and his current work at Jackson Purchase.

“American Single Malt represents one of the most significant innovations in the history of American whiskey-making,” Kasler said. “Those who recognize this opportunity now will be well-positioned as American Single Malt develops its own distinct identity and following in the global whiskey market.”

Beam added, “I wanted to impart a lot more flavor from the mash – some caramel, a little more chocolate. It’s going to be better than Scotch. I don’t like anything peated, so this will be different. But I think it will still appeal to Scotch lovers, while someone who considers themselves a bourbon drinker should love it as well.”

“Heaven Hill stands out because they don’t rinse their barrels after they empty them like other distilleries do,” Terry Ballard, Assistant Master Distiller for Jackson Purchase, said. “That means there’s still a lot of flavor they can pass to the next whiskey. With this combination, I think there’s going to be a little smoke, and a lot of bread and earth flavors.”

This diversification strategy has been key to CaskX’s success in attracting both seasoned investors and newcomers to the whiskey investment space, as evidenced by a growing global investor base of over 600 clients with 30,000+ whiskey cask investments.
