  • Pouring Profits: Why whiskey as an asset class.

  • American Single Malt is a brand new classification of whiskey, created by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau in the summer of 2022. The new classification now allows US whiskey brands to market themselves as competitors to Scotch. 

  • The new classification has resulted in a flurry of brands trying to release their own Single Malt offerings. However, the process for making single malt is different than bourbon and there currently isn't enough single malt distilling infrastructure in the US to meet the new demand. 

  • You can now profit off this trend: Vinovest enables you to invest in new make American Single Malt before it’s matured and sold to brands. Vinovest will take care of storage, insurance and eventual selling of your whiskey.
