Whiskey Investing 101
Prospero Capital seeks to optimize returns, enhance portfolio diversification, and reduce risk for its investors, as Whiskey exhibits a negative correlation with traditional assets such as stocks, bonds, and gold/silver.
PURCHASE
BUY NEW-FILL BARRELS
Prospero Spirit Funds purchases new-fill whiskey through strategic partnerships with top-tier distilleries and contract manufacturers, ensuring our investors access and best pricing.
BUY AGED WHISKEY
Prospero Spirit Funds purchases aged whiskey (1+years of maturation), providing investors with a diversified, laddered portfolio. This allows PSF to provide liquid (whiskey) to Non-Distilling Producers (NDPs) and distillers who require ready-to-bottle liquid and provides the potential for strong returns, even during periods of market volatility.
PROCESS
AGING/MATURATION
Whiskey matures in oak barrels, in which the interaction between the spirit and wood enhances its flavor profile and complexity. This aging process develops the unique characteristics that make the whiskey more desirable and marketable over time.
VALUE GROWTH
As whiskey matures, its value increases due to the natural scarcity created by the aging process, growing consumer demand for high-quality, aged whiskey, and the increasing rarity of premium spirits as they reach optimal maturation.
SELL
SELL FOR PROFIT
Aged/mature whiskey is typically sold to distilleries, Non-Distilling Producers (NDPs) and other whiskey funds at a premium to purchase price, offering attractive returns for investors.
EXIT STRATEGIES
Investors participate in realized profits through various exit strategies, such as selling mature (aged) whiskey to individual brands (both distilleries and NDPs), trading to other investors, or selling to distilleries that may blend or finish their whiskey product in separate barrels (port, rum, sherry, or wine are common examples).
