What They Do
ASM Capital Whiskey Fund acquires, stores, and ages American single malt whiskey barrels. The fund profits from the natural appreciation of aging whiskey, selling it later to distilleries or into the collector market.
Why It Might Be the Next Big Thing
In 2025, the U.S. officially recognized American single malt as a legal whiskey category—unlocking new branding and market potential. ASM is one of the first funds structured specifically to capitalize on this niche, asset-backed opportunity.
Snapshot
Founded by whiskey entrepreneurs Rob and Hunter Robillard
Targets long-term value appreciation through barrel aging
Backed by physical assets (whiskey inventory)
Focused exclusively on American single malt
Who’s Backing Them
Private placement only—limited to accredited investors. No publicly disclosed institutional investors.
My Take
Barrel-aged spirits have historically appreciated in value. ASM is applying a fund structure to a product that already benefits from time. With the category newly formalized, this could be well-timed.
