Jeremy Kasler has more than 25 years of experience in specialty finance, alternative asset investment, and corporate strategy. Today he serves as the CEO of CaskX, a company he founded in 2019 to combine his passion for whiskey with his extensive expertise in pioneering innovative investment platforms. Kasler is widely regarded as the foremost authority on tangible asset diversification, and through his organizations, he strives to build profitable portfolios for investors around the globe.

Under Kasler’s leadership, CaskX has quickly risen to become the market leader in whiskey investment in the United States, pioneering an innovative platform that allows individual investors to invest in portfolios of barreled whiskey from leading distilleries. Investors hold the barrels while they age, capitalizing on the appreciation of the liquid as it matures. Today, CaskX manages more than 30,000 casks valued at over $50 million, serving more than 700 clients worldwide. The company has partnered with leading distilleries such as Jackson Purchase Distillery, Bardstown Bourbon Company, Green River Distillery, Sagamore Spirit Distillery, and Kentucky Artisan Distillery.

CaskX employs over 30 professionals and operates out of offices in Beverly Hills, Louisville, Sydney, Hong Kong, London, Toronto, and Des Moines, reflecting its global footprint in the whiskey investment industry. A member of the Kentucky Distillers’ Association, CaskX is also an official sponsor of the International Wine & Spirits Competition and the Kentucky Bourbon Festival, highlighting its strong ties to the whiskey community.

In 2024, CaskX was named the 20th fastest-growing Financial Services company in the United States on the Inc. 5000, ranking 243rd overall with a staggering growth rate of 1,691% from 2020 to 2023. It was also recognized as the 2nd fastest-growing company in California by the LA Business Journal Disruptors Awards and 44th fastest-growing company in California on the Inc. 5000 list.

Kasler himself is a member of the Forbes Council, has appeared on CNBC and Bloomberg Television, and has written articles for Forbes. CaskX’s groundbreaking approach to whiskey investment has been featured in CNBC, The Whiskey Wash, Forbes, Adweek, Haute Living, Swagger Magazine, InsideHook, Yahoo Finance, Bloomberg, Fred Minnick, Maxim, Robb Report, Food & Wine, Whisky Magazine, and more.

Before founding CaskX, Kasler built his entrepreneurial legacy with the creation of Art Futures Group (AFG) in 2010. AFG rose to prominence as the world’s leading investment broker for Chinese contemporary art, dedicated to helping its clients profit from portfolios containing the market’s most exceptional finds.
As the first in Asia to pioneer a complete end-to-end art investment service, AFG undertook to open up the market, bringing art investment from the high-cost playing field of the elite to middle-class working professionals and Gen Y investors. By connecting artists directly with purchasers through its innovative commercial platform, AFG enabled purchasers to bypass the traditional middlemen of galleries, museums and exhibition halls, bringing the world of art investment to a much broader sphere. Kasler sold Art Futures Group to Hong Kong-based Macey and Sons in an all cash buyout in August 2019. (View press release here)
