Question 1

What is CaskID?

Accepted Answer

CaskID is the public registry for investment spirit casks. We create an independent, permanent record of your ownership - verified by your broker, warehouse, and distillery. Think of it like a land registry for whisky: you might trust your solicitor completely, but you still register your house.

Question 2

What is the CaskID Identifier?

Accepted Answer

A CaskID is a unique digital record for a whisky cask that can be publicly searched by anyone. It contains the cask's key details, a visual fingerprint from advanced image analysis, and a multi-party verification log showing which trusted entities have confirmed its existence and history.

Question 3

How does the whisky cask verification system work?

Accepted Answer

An investor or collector uploads their cask details and photographs to CaskID. Our AI-powered image analysis creates a unique digital fingerprint for each cask. For full verification, a broker, warehouse, and distillery are automatically notified and must each independently confirm the details provided.

Question 4

How does the platform protect against fraud?

Accepted Answer

CaskID's core fraud prevention tools are: AI-powered visual analysis that creates a unique digital fingerprint for each cask, multi-party verification requiring confirmation from distillery, warehouse, and broker, and owner privacy with role-based permissions for sensitive data.

Question 5

Is CaskID free?

Accepted Answer

CaskID is free for brokers, warehouses, and distilleries. Cask owners pay GBP 1.99-2.99 per year per cask, which includes annual re-verification by the bonded warehouse.

Question 6

How long does verification take?

Accepted Answer

Initial registration takes about 5 minutes. Warehouse confirmation typically happens within 24-48 hours. Once all parties confirm, your cask receives verified status.
