Samuel Gordon and Marc Mouannes co-founded GORDON PWC to bring a new way to invest in Whiskey and Tequila cask investment.

Summary of the Podcast
Introductions and background
  • Graham and Kevin welcome Samuel Gordon and Marc Mouannes, partners at Gordon PWC.
  • They discuss their new tequila cask investment product.
  • Samuel and Marc share how they met and their backgrounds in the whiskey and alternative investment industries.

    • Tequila cask investment overview
    • Samuel and Marc provide an overview of their tequila cask investment product.
    • It involves purchasing unaged “blanco” tequila and aging it in oak casks for 3 years to produce a higher-quality “extra anejo” tequila.
    • They highlight the potential for 14-15% annual returns.
    • There is a shorter 3-year investment term compared to whiskey.
    • It’s also another investor route to diversification and inflation hedging.

      • Market dynamics and demand
      • The discussion covers the current and projected growth in global tequila demand.
      • It is especially growing fast in North America, Europe, and Asia.
      • This is driven by the influence of celebrity brands.
      • Samuel and Marc explain how the scarcity of aged tequila and consumer preferences for higher-quality products contribute to the investment opportunity.

        • Investment process and risks
        • Samuel and Marc outline the investment process.
        • This includes how they pre-sell the aged tequila to distilleries and wholesalers to provide investors with a guaranteed exit price.
        • They also discuss the key risks, such as Agave price fluctuations and asset security, and how they mitigate these through insurance and other measures.

          • Tax benefits and investor profile
          • The conversation touches on the UK tax benefits of cask investments as wasting assets.
          • The typical investor profile – affluent individuals looking to diversify their portfolios and hedge against inflation, often in the 40-45 age range.

            • Recap and next steps
            • Graham and Kevin wrap up the discussion, reiterating that they are not providing investment advice.
            • Rather they are highlighting an interesting alternative investment opportunity for listeners to further research.
            • They encourage listeners to connect with Samuel and Marc to learn more about the tequila cask investment product.
