hidden gems

hidden gems, s.r.o. is a Prague-based company that offers investment in Scotch and Irish whisky casks. According to the website, it uses data analysis to pick casks from hundreds of barrels held by distilleries and large warehouses, aiming at casks likely to appreciate and be pleasant to drink.

The website describes the investment cycle: the cask matures without further action from the owner, owners can sample the whisky each year, and at the right time they can sell the cask, auction it, or bottle it with the company and partners as a private edition. The company says it also provides marketing, sales and distribution for bottled editions. The recommended investment horizon is at least 3 years. The company was founded in 2022 (registry data) and its registered address is Malostranské náměstí 262/9 in Prague 1 – Malá Strana.

The website is published in Czech only and cites the WhiskyStats annual report on the correlation between whisky age and auction prices, and a 31% rise in global whisky volume over the past ten years. No team size, funding or hiring information is given in the input.

Product: Investment in Scotch and Irish whisky casks, with data-based cask selection, maturation, and options to sell, auction or bottle a private edition.
