LEXCAP GROUP
America’s Original Alternative Asset
Bourbon barrels offer one of the most compelling, historically consistent return profiles of any tangible asset—driven by aging cycles, demand curves, and real-world consumption.
Why Bourbon
An Aging Asset with Real Returns
With built-in appreciation and clear exit strategies, bourbon barrels offer investors a simple model: buy at wholesale, hold while the value ages, and sell into a growing global market.
- Acquire barrels at wholesale pricing—not retail
- Monthly appreciation compounds monthly: ~$20–$35 per barrel
- ROI trajectory: 2x–3x over 24–32 months, historically
- Outpaced real estate 10x; S&P 500 2.5x over the last decade
Predictable Structure. Real Exit Demand.
The process is simple: value builds in the barrel while you wait. When the time comes to sell, LexCap facilitates resale through our network of brands, speculators, and global buyers.
- Value builds monthly during the aging cycle
- Exit channels include brands, private labels, and global aggregators
- Buyers often seek 2- to 3-year-old barrels—aged to monetize at peak resale value.
- No handling or logistics—barrels remain in bonded storage until resale/commercialization
The World’s Most Storied Spirit—Now a Global Asset
Bourbon’s story stretches far beyond Kentucky. Global demand—especially across Asia, Europe, and the Gulf—continues to outpace aged supply. A 300% surge in U.S. bourbon production confirms what we already know: the world’s most iconic spirit has become a global asset class.
- Global demand for aged bourbon is outpacing supply
- International markets are driving premiumization and export growth
- Global positioning is driving long-term value across the barrel lifecycle
- Aging cycles create built-in value appreciation with predictable exit strategies
