For cask brokers

Sell the cask's story, not just the cask.

Every cask you sell carries an independent record that grows over its life: your confirmation, the warehouse's, photographs, regauges, reracks and every move. Your clients can see it's been checked without picking up the phone.

Why brokers use CaskID

Less chasing, more selling

Built to take work off your desk and bring buyers to it.

  • Buyers come to you

    Enquiries go to the broker handling the cask

    When a buyer finds a cask on CaskID and enquires, we put them in touch with the verified broker handling it, not anyone else.

  • No warehouse chase

    We make the call so your client doesn't

    Instead of clients phoning the warehouse or visiting in person, CaskID asks the warehouse for them and records the answer on the cask.

  • Fits how you work

    Bring your whole book

    Add casks one at a time, or send us a spreadsheet and we'll load your book for you. Confirm each sale with a one-line email reply or from your dashboard.

  • Independent by design

    We don't buy, sell or store casks

    CaskID isn't a broker or a warehouse, so the record carries weight. Your client list stays private: no other broker can see who your clients are.

Every cask is different

No two casks are alike. So why do they still sell with no history?

Most casks are sold on a fill year and the latest regauge (RLA). What actually went in (the OLA), and every regauge, rerack and renumbering since, is rarely passed on. That's the history that makes each cask individual, and the buyer never sees it.

  1. Year 1

    Filled

    New-make goes into its first cask and the original gauge is taken.

    Filled 2011 · no longer available: OLA 195.0 L · 63.5%

    Usually lostThe OLA: exactly what went into the cask. Only the fill year survives.

  2. Years 3 – 9

    Regauged

    Each regauge shows how the spirit is maturing and what the angels have taken.

    no longer available: RLA Y3 · Y6 · Y9

    Usually lostEvery RLA, left on the books of whichever warehouse took it.

  3. Year 10

    Reracked

    Moved into sherry wood to finish. New cask, new cask number.

    no longer available: Cask 1234 (bourbon) → 5678 (sherry)

    Usually lostThe old cask number and what it was matured in.

  4. Year 15

    Sold

    The buyer is handed a delivery order and the latest regauge.

    Filled 2011 · RLA 2026

    What's missingWhere it started and how it got here. No way to see what the angels took, or when.

On CaskID, the OLA, every RLA, rerack and renumbering stay on the cask's record, so the buyer sees the whole story, not just where it ended up.

Provenance

Give buyers more than a piece of paper

A delivery order says where a cask is today. A CaskID record shows where it's been, with a photograph of the cask itself when the warehouse takes one. That history helps buyers understand, trust and defend the value of what they're buying, and it stays with the cask when your client sells.

Paperwork alone

  • A distillery and a fill date
  • A delivery order
  • The seller's word for the rest

With a CaskID record

  • Broker and warehouse confirmations
  • A photograph matched to the cask, when taken
  • Regauges, reracks and moves, dated
